Abstract

Santiago Tulyehualco is an original town of Xochimilco, a municipality from Mexico City, and it is one of a few rural remainder spaces of the city. The aim of this article is to identify the vindicator potential of huauhtli ”“an ancestral crop, also named amaranth”“ as territorial-heritage of Santiago Tulyehualco, in resistance against the advance of urbanization. Methodology, of qualitative nature, was based in the perspective of people born and grown in the community, where five in-depth interviews were made in order to give visibility to their everyday life, their fights and their resistance. Obtained results allow to infer that huauhtli is an element that structures (direct and indirectly) the lifes of people of Santiago Tulyehualco, a reason to be considered a territorial-heritage actived by the community, which is in search to gain respect to their right to practice agriculture and to continue being farmers inside of one of the greatest cities of all the world.
