This is a picture of an altar for the Día de Los Muertos or Day of the Dead in San Luis Potosí at the Palacio Municipal in Historic Downtown 🌼 There’s a lot of misunderstanding about this Mexican holiday which has its roots from the Aztecs find out about its history at aculturame.com under “How We Celebrate Dia de los Muertos in San Luis Potosí” 🌼🌼🌼#aculturame #diadelosmuertos #diadelosmuertosaltar #palaciomunicipalslp #diadelosmuertosaltars #lapotosinawrites #wordpressblog #rememberingday #dayofthedead #yosoydesanluispotosi #visitslp #mexicanaltars
Standing at the Battle of the Little Bighorn Memorial. The tour to this National Monument is an unforgettable experience. #aculturame #thebattleofthelittlebighorn #lapotosinawrites #nativeamericaneducation #americanindianhistory #pryormountains #montanaprairie
“Up in that hill the air filled with gust and dust smoke, General Custer will make his way with five companies of men, twenty men per company that totals over 210 men plus a number of civilians...” one of the best storytelling I’ve heard is from Rose, a member of the Crow Nation in Pryor, Montana. For the first time, I heard from a Native American perspective, the infamous Battle of the Little Bighorn which took place on June 25, 1876. These events would not be forgotten by the Native American tribes. I invite you to read my recount of this trip on my post “The Battle of the Little Bighorn: A Native American Perspective” (link on bio) this is one of my most memorable trips in the U.S. and also the one that inspired me to start writing ✍🏼 #aculturame #battleofthelittlebighorn #thebattleofthelittlebighorn #storytelling #nativeamericanstorytelling #nativeamericaneducation #knowyourhistory #pryormontana #visitmontana #littlebighornbattlefield #littlebighornbattlefieldnationalmonument #crazyhorsequote #americanhistory #placeofreflection #nationalparkservice #generalcuster #americanindianhistory #nativeamericanmonument
Back in my student days, a college professor from Mexico 🇲🇽 caught my attention when she started speaking in Nahuatl, an indigenous language from Mexico. She said, “You don’t know where you are going if you don’t know where you came from” it came from a Nahuatl old saying. I carried these words with me ever since. Let there be no shame or denying of your own cultural heritage! #aculturame #nahuatl #wordpressblogger #nativepride #mexicanblogger #aztecblood #knowyourhistory #nativeamericaneducation #virginiatribes #rappahannocktribe #virginiaindianfestival #lapotosinawrites #nativeamericanwomen #nahuatlproverb #ometeotl #mexica
I met a great Puerto Rican chef 👨‍🍳 who can cook awesome “comida criolla” or Puerto Rican creole food. He prepared this succulent dish: Pork Loin with a special sauce he calls “Caribbean Caramelized” with mashed sweet potato, green and yellow plantain, and fresh salad as another side dish. For dessert he prepared for us a tembleque which is Puerto Rico’s favorite dessert, a coconut dessert pudding 😋 let’s support Puerto Rican talent 🇵🇷 #aculturame #comidacriollapuertorriqueña #puertoricoselevanta #comidapuertoriqueña #temblequedecoco #temblequepuertoriqueño #majadodeviandas #plantainrecipes #porkloinrecipes #caribbeanstylefood #isladelencanto #puertoricanfood #puertoricandishes
🎃 pumpkin time 🎃 who doesn’t love pumpkins 🎃 what’s your favorite pumpkin? Mine is calabaza which is similar to Long Island Cheese pumpkin (the tan colored one on this picture) it’s sweet and very similar to the ones we eat in Mexico around this time of the year. I love pumpkins 😍 I invite you to read my article about The Amazing Journey of the Pumpkin and its Origins at aculturame.com #aculturame #halloween #pumpkintime #historyofpumpkins #cucurbitapepo #everythingpumpkin #calabaza #nativeamericanfoods
