Templo Kuchilkan

Templo Kuchilkan is a Mesoamerican temple in Houston, Texas. It is a non-hierarchical, nondenominational church rooted in the beliefs, practices, and traditions of Indigenous peoples of the Americas. The temple works to reestablish native traditions, beliefs, and spiritual heritage through community activities and spiritual gatherings. A sacred fire is lit every 20 days on the day of the serpent, followed by ceremony, prayer, song, danza, and communal activities. Gatherings include altar building and decoration before the fire is lit. The temple also describes native language instruction programs and a children's introductory Aztec danza class focused on traditional cultural practices. Its founding is associated with the fall equinox of 2015.
