Chikón Nangui — 'the fair lord of the earth' (nangui, Mother Earth) — is, in the Cañada Mazatec tradition documented by the UNAM dictionary of traditional medicine, the owner of the animals, plants and all earthly things and the leader of the chikones, the lesser earth-owners who each hold a particular hill, cave, stream or ceiba. He is pictured as a wealthy man with white hair and fine clothing, or as a fair-haired child, and is syncretised with Saint George (San Jorge). Like all the chikon he is said to have lived openly upon the earth before light existed and to have withdrawn beneath its surface when humans were created. Though styled an owner of the earth in his own right, he is ranked among the company of earth-lords under the supreme Chikón Tokoxo of Nindo Tokoxo.
