During fieldwork, I recorded several speakers of Mara and documented its unusual prefixing patterns.

The maras grazed quietly in the shadow of the cacti as tourists snapped photos.

At the cultural festival, the Maras performed a traditional dance.

After the flood, the fields were covered with a thin layer of terra-mara that improved crop yields for years.

Community leaders organized a meeting to discuss how to reduce violence linked to Mara Salvatrucha in local neighborhoods.
