Within the context of Oaxaca, Mexico, home to 16 officially recognised indigenous languages, Spanish and English, this paper presents results of an ongoing critical-ethnographic-action-research project in two different sites: one in a semi-urban setting and the other in a rural community. This paper uses multimodal texts (photos and videos) and narratives to present ethnographic portraits of Mexican indigenous and mestizo children from Oaxaca. Based on this research, this paper addresses three themes: (1) translanguaging practices as the norm; (2) children’s identity (re)negotiation through the creation and performance of identity texts; and (3) teachers as learners and children as teachers
