The Nahuatl Indigenous Chair, established in September 2015, has been a benchmark in the rescue, promotion, and dignification of Nahuatl-Pipil culture in El Salvador. Through comprehensive lines of work such as research, teaching, and social outreach, this initiative has articulated institutional and community efforts to strengthen Indigenous identity and linguistic revitalization. This article analyzes its foundations, achievements, challenges, and prospects from an intercultural and transdisciplinary perspective, recognizing its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Salvadoran constitutional mandate regarding linguistic and cultural rights.
