Mexi'cayotl is a collective of Chican, Mexicano, and Latinoamericano persons who are interested in creating a "third space" of an Indigenous community that gives a safe, nurturing place for people who are accepted neither within the dominant U.S. culture, nor the communities of Mexico. Chicanos, because of their skin color, language, and cultural heritage will never be seen as truly "American" by some members of white U.S. society. And because many Chicanos do not speak Spanish, and are closely identified with the Anglo-Saxon culture of the U.S.,they will always remain as outsiders or "gringos" to many Mexicans. Danza Mexi'cayotl makes this knowledge, available to students, teachers, and others who want to begin their journey into a more traditional way of life. Danza Mexi'cayotl focuses on serving multicultural youth, especially those low- income families that may not have other opportunities to gain access to traditional and living knowledge. Using traditional media such as oral, musical, and choreographic semiotics, and modern means of communication (websites, Facebook, Adobe Acrobat .PDF files and blogs), Danza Mexi'cayotl, through MICC, has extended is educational outreach to the entire globe. Capitáan Mario Aguilar, Danza Mexi'cayotl, and The Mexi'cayotl Indio Cultural Center are routinely cited in Master's thesis, doctoral dissertations and news articles. Danza Mexi'cayotl is a circle of community residents, parents, artists, teachers, and counselors who dedicate their lives to diversity and social justice. Danza Mexi'cayotl works and prays for the cultural, spiritual, ecological, economic and political florescence of future generations on the Mother Earth. Danza Mexi'cayotl has performed throughout the Southwestern U.S. including the world famous Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial.
