Reclaiming Heritage as a Mixtec Scholar: A Conversation with Dr. Omar Aguilar

In this episode, AAAS STPF fellow Jose Hurtado sits down with Dr. Omar Aguilar, a Mixtec archaeologist from Oaxaca, to discuss his innovative approach to science communication through the lens of his film "Sacred Skins." Dr. Aguilar shares his journey of reappropriating Mixtec heritage and language, the challenges of balancing academic research with community ownership, and the powerful impact of reclaiming indigenous knowledge systems. Join us as we explore how alternative methods can bridge cultural gaps and foster a deeper understanding of the rich history of the Ñuu Savi people.

The co-founder of Colectivo Nchivi Ñuu Savi (People of the Community of the Rain), Dr. Aguilar is also the director of the digital project "Códices Mixtecos." Additionally, he directs the Ñuu Savi Culture and Language project within The Americas Research Network (ARENET). Dr. Aguilar is also a founding member of the Universidad Autónoma Comunal de Oaxaca (UACO) and has been a member of Mexico's National System of Researchers since 2022. He has received numerous accolades, including the 2016 INAH Award, the National Youth Award in 2019, and the 2021 INAH Award for his doctoral dissertation. He also conceptualized and co-created the app Códices Mixtecos.
