Listen Later

In this episode of EPFV, Eloisa Arenas talks with our guest, Rosalinda Guadalajara, a Ralámuli woman, about her Culinary Heritage and her indigenous community in Juarez, Chihuahua, on the border with El Paso, Texas. Rosalinda shares with us some ancestral recipes, like Pinole, and a couple of traditional ingredients as corn and quelites. They discuss the significance of Las Guardianas de la Cultura (The Guards of Culture) as preservers of family lineages, as well as some of the challenges the younger Ralámuli people face in keeping their traditions alive in the urban context, through cultural spaces such as Las Tres Marías restaurant or Festival Umukí.
