• Summary:"This books presents an ethnography of contemporary indigenous education through the spirit practice, dance ceremonies, and cultural diffusion efforts of a Mexica (Aztec) dance circle in the United States. Ernesto Colín uses the metaphor of the palimpsest to describe several teaching and learning spaces the group constructs with a combination of ancient and modern materials. Colín unpacks the group's organizational leadership, ceremonies, community service, education, and dance practices. Ultimately, dancers relclaim and re-author identity, language, culture, leadership, education, spirituality, and community activism. The book celebrates a dynamic Indigenous community and its postcolonial resistance to erasure."--Back cover.
