	Chichimeca - NativeWiki
		Chichimeca was the name that the Mexica (Aztecs) generically applied to a wide range of semi-nomadic peoples who inhabited the north of modern-day Mexico.
		The word "Chichimeca" was originally used by the Nahua to describe their own prehistory as a nomadic hunter-gatherer people and used in contrast to their later, more "civilized," urban lifestyle that they identified with the term Toltecatl. A term which has also caused confusion in later scholarship by being interpreted as an actual ethnic group.
		The only somewhat nuanced description of the Chichimeca is found in Bernardino de Sahagún's Historia general de las cosas de Nueva España in which some Chichimec people such as the Otomi were described as knowing agriculture, living in settled communities, and having a religion devoted to the worship of the Moon.

	Stabilizing Indigenous Languages: Stories for Language Revitalization
		Náhuatl and Chichimeca language and content, for example, would be more profitably reinforced and transmitted exclusively within the more traditionally circumscribed oral domains, reserving literacy for the language of wider communication.
		Originating from an initiative on the part of the local school personnel, all of whom are monolingual Spanish speakers themselves, the introduction of traditional Chichimeca narratives was viewed initially as a means of boosting students' self esteem.
		In this respect, the unique contribution of the Chichimeca project consists of addressing the problem of teacher language competence and linguistic variation in the most direct manner (from the perspective of the least favorable combination of "objective factors"; no availability of printed material, monolingual Spanish-speaking faculty).
