Sonora, México · Punta Chueca
Cantos al Mar, with the Comcaac
A small-group journey to Punta Chueca, on the coast of Sonora, to be with the Comcaac people around their New Year.
The place and the people
Punta Chueca and the Comcaac
The Comcaac, also known as the Seri, live on the coast of Sonora, between the Sonoran Desert and the Sea of Cortés. Their language, Cmiique Iitom, is considered a language isolate: it is not related to any other language.
I go to Punta Chueca through friendship with Comcaac families, built over years. The journey is timed to the Comcaac New Year, which falls around the summer solstice. As on every journey, you accompany and witness.
