The Kaxúmbekua summarizes in a single word the ethical and moral values of the P'urhépecha culture. The changes that are taking place in today's society threaten the irreparable loss of indigenous values that gave P'urhépecha society an identity and training in matters of moral value. The loss of the mother tongue and along with it the oral tradition, has made it impossible to continue transmitting ancestral wisdom as was practiced before. The new generations consider ancestral wisdom as a thing of the past and opt for a different behavior, leaving aside moral values, which were guides for the P'urhépecha culture. The documentation of the moral values in this book helps to learn more about them, also gives the opportunity to review the official history of the ethical and moral principles of indigenous cultures, of which very little is said in the official writings.
