Danza Serpiente

The Nogales International newspaper from Santa Cruz County on Tuesday February 28, 2006, published the above image on the front page of their community section. Danza Serpiente, by Dorothy Fix, is so large it leaves only four inches at the bottom of the page for the beginnings of Mike Touzeau's review of Changing the World One Thread at a Time.

La Dia des los Muertos is an integral part of the culture of Nogales, both in Sonoran Arizona and in Sonora, Mexico. I suspect this newspaper clipping will make it's way all over Mexico, carried there by campesinos who will add this bit of color to their home altars. It will remind them, day by day, that they are always accompanied by those who have gone before.

Northern Mexico is changing. People have the ability to travel and attend cultural venues. This review will bring an even broader audience to Tubac.
