We are honored to share all of our videos and materials from this historic event. Please check back frequently as we upload on a weekly basis!

With the permission of the giver of life, Ipalnemohuanij, with the permission of the ancestors, who are the conquering animas of the 8 directions, and with the permission of you,
brothers and sisters present, it is an honor to receive everyone on this historic day in the cause of our people CHICANO / MEXICAN / INDIGENA.
We hope this will be a space to learn, ask and respect the teachings of our speakers, who have made the long trip from Mexico and CalifAztlan without any payment.
For the eighth time we meet in a circle of conversation, learning and friendship. We are here to better understand the roots of our beautiful obligation, THE DANZA TOLTECA- CHICHIMECA-
CONCHERA- AZTECA de Mexíco. For more than 400 years, since the battle of Cerro de Sangremal, the Brotherhood of Santa and Legal Account, the “concheros” have struggled to maintain
our tradition as indigenous peoples.

In 1974, the Chican@ s / Mexican@s/ indigenous peoples fought for our self-determination, for justice, for our human rights, and for maintaining our languages, traditions, and arts.
The arrival of the generals Andrés Segura and Florencio Yescas, exactly at this moment of political struggle, changed forever the fight in Aztlan. After the arrival of the “Aztec Dance,”
the murals changed from Pancho Villa to Cuauhtémoc. The RAZA ceased to feel inferior due to our golden skin, and on the contrary, began to celebrate our indigenous roots.
Many false prophets and opportunists came. Our paths in the struggle to learn what we had lost in the struggle between cultures were long and painful. But our indigenous self, our
mestizo self, our future self, cannot ever be forgotten again In those days before Facebook® and cell phones with cameras, we CHICANOS looked for more information about DANCE. So we
gathered in San Diego Kosoy to talk.

From the first symposium we had in 1990, LA DANZA MEXI’CAYOTL, our cultural center THE MEXI’CAYOTL INDIO CULTURAL CENTER (or MICC), and all our dancers havededicated ourselves to teach and preserve the indigenous traditions of Mexico and the Southeastern US.
