Native American dancers performed at the Presidio in San Francisco.

 

Cool bay breezes mingled with the healing aroma of burning sage as the first Intertribal Dance event: Dancing is our Medicine was held at the Presidio on Saturday, presented by the Native American Health Center. Dance in many indigenous communities is a prayer, an offering, a balancing of the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional, which in turn heals and strengthens indigenous communities. The event welcomed all Native peoples and the greater public to enjoy a variety of healing dances by California tribes on one beautiful day.

Sin relojes ni herramientas modernas, los antiguos mexicanos observaban el sol para mantener un calendario agrícola que seguía con precisión las estaciones e incluso se ajustaba a los años bisiestos.

Antes de la llegada de los españoles en 1519, el sistema agrícola de la Cuenca de México alimentaba a una población extraordinariamente grande para la época. Mientras que Sevilla, el centro urbano más grande de España, tenía una población de menos de 50,000 habitantes, la Cuenca, ahora conocida como Ciudad de México, albergaba hasta tres millones de personas.
