At Anawakalmekak we are honored to teach, learn and speak Nahuatl (Mexihkatlahtolli) as both a representation of our people's self-determination and as our educational foundation for Indigenous Resurgence Education in Los Angeles and anywhere Nahua communities live, learn and labor.
Our school name references the historical and modern Nahua diaspora, native homelands and ancestral sites of our origins. The new spelling of our school's name reflects the integration and adoption of a new system of writing that is born of the self-determination of Nawa Peoples, linguists and communities.
