                       who lost their land but who did not disappear.As a young Nahua girl in Mexico during the early 1900s, Luz learned to grind corn in a metate, twist yarn with her toes, and weave on a loom.

When the Mexican Revolution came to her village, Luz and her family were forced to flee. In Mexico City, Luz became a model for painters, sculptors, and photographers such as Diego Rivera, Jean Charlot, and Tina Modotti. These artists were interested in showing the true face of Mexico and not a European version. Luz's work helped preserve her people's culture through native language, stories, and traditions. Soon, scholars came to learn from her.
