The zoocultural heritage of the P’urhépecha indigenous people
With the paradigm of bioculturality, ethnozoology can be considered as the conceptual and methodological framework for understanding the zoocultural heritage, in addition to the study of knowledge, worldview, and traditional practices, the tangible and intangible cultural products that arise from human-fauna interactions. To characterize the zoocultural heritage of the P’urhépecha, a bibliographic review, semi-structured interviews, and the construction of free lists were carried out. The elements of the tangible and intangible zoocultural heritage are described and analyzed; It was found that the ethnotaxaón with the greatest presence in zoocrafts, festivities, music, dance, and narrative is the deer. It is concluded that the biocultural heritage approach is adequate to study the human-fauna relationship and that the P’urhépecha zoocultural heritage preserves a part of the heritage of the pre-Hispanic era, so it is pertinent to know, preserve, and disseminate.
