Children of Echoes

The Children of Echoes, or Nanatzcayan, is one of the six tribes in Natlan. They can be found at the "Children of Echoes" inside the gorge in Tequemecan Valley. Their current chief is Pacal.
==Overview==
This tribe was founded prior to the formation of the Grand Alliance. The first known use of the name "Nanatzcayan" was in reference to Ixquieh's time as chief.
According to Ranjit, the Children of Echoes are fine miners, excavators, and skilled appraisers of gems who live in the mines in eastern Natlan. They have 19 mining teams, and their Tepetlisaur companions help them by mining and finding the best ores.
The Children of Echoes value gemstones very highly; they consider "stone" one of their symbols and some even describe them like a second layer of skin. Tribe members will often decorate their tools, weapons, and accessories with gems, which some see as an indicator of skill or status. According to Vichama, the Nanatzcayan are the sole producer of obsidian, a very important ceremonial material in Natlan.
According to Avilix, it is sometimes difficult to get enough sunlight because the tribe has "dug too deep into the mountains," but the rowdy spirit of the tribespeople makes up for it. The Nanatzcayan enjoy rhythmic music and dancing, particularly .YouTube: Stop Motion Animation: "Natlan Tribe Introductions" They hold regular dance competitions, such as the "Drillbit Dance Dance-Off," which has occurred daily for over 350 years.The Drillbit Dance Dance-Off is stated to be on its 127751st iteration, which gives ~350 when divided by 365.
