Yakanal participants are a multi-cultural and multi-generational group of volunteers that came together through our shared commitment to indigenous cultural preservation and a deep connection to our lands and skies.
We are indigenous youth and elders, allies, and program partners from the American Southwest, California, Mesoamerica, and South America, representing the following cultures: Pueblo, Yucatec Maya, Tsotsil Maya, Lacandon Maya, K’iché Maya, Zapotec, Mixtec, and Quechua.
