The Comcáac inhabit the beautiful and rich Sonoran Desert, on the shores of the Gulf of California, settled primarily in two villages: Axöll Ihóm (Desemboque) and Socaaix (Punta Chueca). Since 2005, Kossio has approached the Seris with the intention of disseminating their ancestral traditions, relying on the anthropological guidance of Dr. Otila Caballero. They have allowed him to record the Festival of the Leatherback Sea Turtle (Xiica Cmotomanoj), the Big Basket Ceremony (Saaptim), the Puberty Ceremony, the Comcáac New Year, as well as their basketry production and other ceremonies in the desert.

Kossio has participated with his research on the Comcáac in numerous ethnographic exhibitions, in addition to collaborating with universities, magazines, and documentaries in Mexico, the United States, Spain, and France, for which he has also received awards. (Source: Arqueología Mexicana)
