La Siguanaba

Sihuehuet was a woman whose beauty and charm ensnared a prince's heart. But her avarice, lust, and thirst for power transforms her into La Siguanaba, a horrific horse faced woman who lurks beside rivers, luring men and children to their deaths. 

What does this story tell us about women's role in society? And what does this 400 year old story tell us about the past, Indigeneity, and colonization? Find out the secrets of La Siguanaba in this episode!
