"Oh people of the hot land, wandering on the earth like leaves in the wind, falling into unknown destinations. Oh Feathered Serpent, illuminate the bright path, on the long road of migration, filled with stones and thorns..."
The Papu Priest spoke of the horror in the north, Chieftain Chuchut made a decision, and the Snake Lake Tribe promptly began their migration. It was so hurried, without much hesitation, just like their ancestors. In the epic of tradition, the ancestors of the tribe came from the far distant north, traveling all the way from the desolate desert. And now, it was once again a migration towards the hot land in the south.
In fact, "Totonac" means "hot land." So "Tototanak people" are "the people of the hot land."
