A brother and sister improvise and play in a puddle with boats they made out of fallen leaves after a brief afternoon thunderstorm hit the plaza in Ajijic, Mexico. One of the qualities that separates many kids who live in a place like the United States from, say, a place like Mexico is the ability, and at times the necessity, of creating games out of practical everyday items or found objects, such as pesos, rocks or these leaf boats, as shown in the photo.

Cowgirls, Escaramuzas & Charras

People of Mexico

The heart of a nation is found in the soul of its people. To an outsider, it’s easy to mistakenly think that Mexico’s people are all equivalent. But Mexico is actually a diverse country with close to 100 unique indigenous groups and 350 dialects.

Cowboys, Charro & Vaqueros

In Mexico, to be a charro is more than being able to ride a horse or put on the right clothes. It’s about maintaining a connection to the country’s storied past through the hundreds-year-old sports-art of charrería.

Aztec Dancers

Although the Spanish “explorers” of the 16th century killed the native peoples they found in Mexico or enslaved them, even five centuries of colonization could never conquer their souls. Today, the ancient mitote steps of the Aztec dancers have been incorporated as an essential part of the Mexican Catholic procession.

Day of the Dead

At first glance, El Día de Muertos might appear to be a macabre and solemn festival for remembering the dead. But Mexico’s most famous holiday is a time for connecting with the past and uniting family, both here and gone.

Catrinas on the Day of the Dead

The image of the catrina originated as a voice of popular criticism against Mexico’s 19th-century privileged class.  Today, the catrina is a unique part of the Mexican identity and on the Day of the Dead, some people dress up with black and white face paint and elegant clothes.
