Welcome...
"we are very thankful
because you have come to visit us."
Who We Are
The
Mexi'cayotl Indio Cultural Center is dedicated to teaching and
preserving the indigenous cultures of México and the
southwestern United States. We are a community based,
non-profit 501(c)(3)
organization that is dedicated to bringing knowledge of our living
traditions back to our communities.
What We Do
Since
1987 We have collected this knowledge from indigenous
and mestizo people that still live the traditional
ways of life, as well as from academic, scientific, and artistic
sources that have carried out research on our treasured
cultures. We then make this knowledge, so important
for the future of our people, available to students, teachers, and
others who want to begin their journey into a more
traditional
way of life. We focus on serving our youth in the
barrios of Aztlan, especially those low- income families
that
may not have other opportunities to gain access to
our ancestral treasures.
We
are community residents, parents, artists, teachers,
and counselors who dedicate our lives to diversity and
social justice. We
work and pray for the cultural, spiritual, ecological, economic and
political floresence of our future generations.
