"Capulli Tonalehqueh is an Aztec dance and cultural diffusion group based in San Jose. Their name means ‘community of guardians who accompany the sun’ in the Náhuatl language. Their mission is to create spaces for, facilitate the practice of, and promote community health through indigenous Mexican culture. As a nonprofit and volunteer-run collaborative, they organize ceremonial dance events, art, and music workshops, agricultural initiatives, educational summits, pan-indigenous exchange, and community outreach/activism. Through these efforts, Capulli Tonalehqueh hopes to promote and sustain cultural, physical, and spiritual well-being." (from Alliance for California Traditional Arts)
