Mexican culture

Shows a young man and woman dressed in Aztec costumes for a production presented by Fiesta Alegre de Denver and sponsored by El Centro Cultural. The man wears a feathered head piece, and carrys a shield. The woman wears a decorated bodice with fringe and a headband.

A young Mexican American boy in an Aztec dance costume dances. He wears a smock with decorative trim, a headdress with feathers and he holds an arch of paper flowers.

Members of a Chicano theater group identified as the National Chicano Theater, directed by Enrique Montano, pose on a rise looking over the skyline of Denver, Colorado. They lean against or stand near two automobiles from the 1940's. The men are dressed as Zoot suiters and the women wear vintage style dresses and skirts and blouses. Two men wear long jackets, pegged pants, long chains and hats.
