| Dia de Muertos - A Mexican Remembrance to Remember Our Departed |
October 30-31, 2010
Center House |
Saludos
Dia de Muertos or “Day of the Dead” joins together tradition, culture and art. It is a celebration where remembering our departed is to remember what has been our history. It is to keep alive the very deepest of our roots, where indigenous and Spanish roots intertwine in traditional community altars, sugar skulls, sand painting, special foods, candles, processions, music and dance. Presented by Taller Mexicano para la Cultura y las Artes.

Colors of the Mexican Culture: Green (the green of the fields), white (the snow of the volcanos that signifies purity), and red (the blood of the men and women who sacrificed their lives for liberty). Most Popular Foods: Foods that have both an Indigenous and European influence, for example, Mole, Pozole, Tamales, and different stews prepared with Chilis. Greatest Source of Cultural Pride: The very deep historical and cultural roots that we have in our indigenous pueblos. Livelihood: Mexico is the 12th largest economy in the world, driven by agriculture, and food and beverage products, aerospace, electronics, tobacco, chemicals, iron and steel, petroleum, biotech, textiles, clothing, motor vehicles and parts, consumer durables, and tourism and ecotourism.
