In one of the most hostile corners of the planet lives the Comcaac nation. Located in the Sonora Desert, in northwestern Mexico, its members are also known as Seris. They constitute an emblematic example of resistance, as for centuries they have endured the harsh conditions of an extreme environment and have managed to preserve their identity against the white man’s attempts at subjugation, who was unable to break them either by force of arms or through cultural imposition.
However, the 21st century has brought new challenges to this community, which is protective of its identity and territory like few others. The plastic culture, the consumption of sugary drinks, the rise of evangelical churches, or the drug problem are some of the challenges they face today.
This work proposes a journey into the heart of the Comcaac nation and explores its deep relationship with the natural environment, its territory, and a firmly rooted identity that has withstood the passage of time and the transformations of the contemporary world.
