The poetic worldview of the Nahuatl and Totonac peoples of the Northeastern Sierra of Puebla represents a cultural treasure that has been transmitted orally for generations. This oral tradition preserves aesthetic and literary expressions while embodying a symbolic system that reflects the history, identity, and spiritual connections of these communities. However, globalization, linguistic homogenization, and the lack of written records have placed this heritage at risk. To address this, the present study seeks to document, transcribe, and analyze the poetic expressions of these indigenous groups, ensuring their preservation and accessibility for future generations. Through field research, this project will compile poetic compositions from both recognized and anonymous indigenous poets, transcribing and translating them while maintaining their cultural and symbolic integrity. This research contributes to the revitalization of indigenous languages, fosters intercultural appreciation, and highlights poetry as a means of resistance and identity reaffirmation within Nahuatl and Totonac communities. Ultimately, this initiative aligns with broader efforts to safeguard the intangible cultural heritage of Mexico, ensuring the continued existence and recognition of indigenous poetic traditions.
