Xiuhtezcatl (pronounced "Shu-TEZ-caht") is a hip-hop artist, activist and former Youth Director of Earth Guardians, a "tribe of young activists, artists, and musicians from across the globe stepping up as leaders and co-creating the future we know is possible."

Raised in the Aztec tradition, and deeply connected to his home mountains and rivers of Colorado, Xiuhtezcatl draws on a deep connection to Earth in his performance and speaking, which has taken him on tour around the world: from classrooms to music festivals to the United Nations.

Since he was 6 years old he has been a fierce advocate for environmental protection; he was also a plaintiff in our Colorado fracking lawsuit.
