The Aztecs had a way of seeing the passage between life and death, which has nothing to do with the first and second day of November.

That comes from Judeo-Christian culture.

It has to do with Christianity because in the original peoples of Mexico, particularly in the case of the Aztecs, the celebration of the three months of flowers because the Aztec culture had a calendar 20 days per month.

So, if we put those days together, they were three months of the Aztecs, where the return of our deceased relatives to the houses where they lived was celebrated and then they were given what they used to eat and drink.

So, really this tradition is very similar to that of other native peoples.

Well, the fundamental idea of having these traditions is to share with our brothers and sisters who live in the United States the great cultural richness that we immigrants bring or in the case where, in the end, like the Northern Tigers say, the border crossed us We did not cross the border, the border crossed us and today it is really very important that we know how to tell the United States community the origin of many things.

And it’s very important the next generations, especially those born in the United States, feel proud of that past, because you cannot compare a country that has been independent for 250 years with nations like the ones on this continent which are thousands of years old, not 250 years.

These nations have been in existence for hundreds, thousands of years.

One of the things that I see here in the United States is that these types of traditions... try to be as authentic as possible.

And in Mexico, unfortunately, North American culture is gradually entering so now there are these types of traditions but with elements of for example, Halloween, which has nothing to do with the Day of the Dead tradition.

So here in the United States we see that people care about being more authentic than they are now in Mexico.
