Centuries before Cortéz, their ancestors migrated south from what is today Colorado and New Mexico; today, united in heritage and spirit with their brothers and sisters across the political boundary that separates Mexico from the United States, they celebrate the past and its continuity. In this fascinating program, celebrants of this ancient native tradition demonstrate their dances and costumes, explaining their meaning—and not only the literal and symbolic meaning of feathers or face paint, but the larger meaning of the dance: that you don’t have to be a Native American to accept its message. (26 minutes)
