This year’s Inter-tribal Indian Ceremonial proved once again that a rich culture still thrives, keeping the crowd as excited as ever.

One particular crowd-pleasing Native American performing group is Danza Mexi’cayotl, which translates as “The Dance of the Aztec/Mexican People.”

Group leader Mario Aguilar has been performing in the Ceremonial with his family for quite some time.
