"A Great Bundle, a Large Packframe": Carrying Burdens to Create Nahua Communities in Colonial Mexico
Abstract:This article examines the importance of the Nahua concept of tequitl, a term that meant work, duty, task, office, and obligation, as an expression of indigeneity and community solidarity in colonial Mexico. Nahuas used collaborative labor arrangements within marriages and across households to establish and sustain social bonds. To work on behalf of others was an act of love, respect, and concern, and between couples, of intimacy. Nahuas often conceived of tequitl, whether office holding, tribute labor, or gendered work, as "a great bundle, a large packframe" that a person must carry to fulfill their obligations to others in their community.
