In Mexico, studies on indigenous masculinity are not enough, so the objective of this work is to describe the construction of masculinity in tutunakú sanmigueleños men from the Sierra Norte de Puebla. Applying meticulous interviews as a data collection technique, we were working with four men whom belong to two different generations, all of them, initially socialized under local "customs". As a result of this inquiry, a clear notion of sex and gender is observed, where the socialization process to stop being skátã (infant), and become into chi'xcu (man), includes the internalization of a variety of agriculture knowing-how, the physical habituation to the weather changes and the strenuous work, as well as the incorporation of responsibility as an axis of articulation and constant evaluation, where the maximum community recognition is gotten by being accepted as a compadre during the mayordomía, which implies having become an honorable man.

Palavras-chave : masculinity; indigenous; tutunakú; socialization; honor.
