This text from San Francisco Ixquihuacan, a Nahuatl-speaking community in western Highland Puebla, presents local folklore on the origin of two nearby townships, Ahuacatlán y Coaltepec. The storyteller talks about the settlement of Totonacs or totutecos to the present-day Ahuacatlán (and the religious event which occurred during it) and the foundation of Coaltepec by the Nahuas who came from Ixquihuacan in order to claim the land against them.
