Event History

We had our first event during June of 2004. It started as a one time, exclusive event for the Santo Domingo Pueblo Indians from New Mexico. Thus the name "Santa Fe Days On The Square". As a result of the feedback from those who were involved and attending the function, we have decided to make this an annual event and open it up to ALL of the Native American Community.

Tribal affiliations represented at our event included :

As part of our Cultural Presentation we will have the Mexihca-Nahuatl (Aztec) Ceremonial Dance group. Mexihca is a term that included 8 different clans (bands) who settled the areas of modern day Wyoming to present day Mexico City. The dances have been passed down generation-to-generation since 1521, when it went underground  because of the Spanish invasion. The dance is a living, evolving and spiritual tradition from our Ancestors. It is kinetic prayer, individual yet communal. Through our dances we honor the 4 Directions and the 4 Sacred Elements that give us life..
