Resumen
VELAZQUEZ GALINDO, Yuribia. Interdependence and the gift economy. "aid" (Quipalehuiya) as a basic economic form among The Nahuas, Mexico. Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2013, n.17, pp.175-201. ISSN 1900-5407.
Based on ethnographic data collected from 1993 to date, I seek to demonstrate that contemporary Nahua develop certain aspects of their lives in the context of an economy of gifts. Nahua reciprocity expresses this in the basic economic form of "aid", called quipalehuiya locally. I argue that this "aid", given as goods or services, is reciprocated through social networks and provides a foundation for the model of interdependence that completely links this population with its social and ecological environment.
