Adam W. Coon draws on Nahua perspectives as a decolonizing theoretical framework to argue that Nahua writers deploy unique worldviews-namely, ixtlamatilistli (\"knowledge with the face,\" which highlights the value of personal experiences); yoltlajlamikilistli (\"knowledge with the heart,\" which underscores the importance of affective intelligence); and tlaixpan (\"that which is in front,\" which presents the past as lying ahead of a subject rather than behind). The views of ixtlamatilistli, yoltlajlamikilistli, and tlaixpan are key in Nahua struggles and effectively challenge those who attempt to marginalize Native knowledge production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam W.
