About ITNT

How and Why We Started ITNT

We started ITNT after completing our graduate studies at Texas A&M and came back to the Rio Grande Valley. Our specialty is birds of the Rio Grande Delta, Native names (mostly Nahuatl, Teenek Maya and Yucatec Maya) and the stories associated, however we have experience with everything that walks, crawls, swims, or flies and with the non moving biota of the Valley. Our services are free for folks coming from different parts of the continent and in the U.S. who identify as indigenous, including local Natives. We felt it was important to initiate this project since most of our science teachers as kids were white. We want to preserve indigenous knowledge and inspire others to connect to their ancestral roots.
