Ribbon dance
Fiesta Latina on Saturday, June 22, 2019, at WNMU Old James Stadium also featured children's activities, such as face painting, paper flower headbands, clay play and to beat the heat a pretend slip and slide with water hose and tarp.
Following those activities the Naucualti Atlachinolli performance was tied in with the Transcending Borders film and discussion series that took place throughout the weekend. Their ornate feather headdresses and drums highlighted the performance, plus colorful costumes drew a crowd.
Adults and children joined the dancers and formed a ring dance.
