“Chicahua”

Dressed as a colorful Mexica (me-SHEE-ka) dancer, this 3" bear (without the headdress), is made of saddle deerskin.  The Mexica/Aztecs are Native American people who dominated Northern Mexico in the 16th century.  In 1325, they founded the town of TENOCHTITLAN (modern Mexico City).  Dancing was and is a very important part of the Mexica heritage.  Conch shellsare blown to call each ceremony to order.  Dances represent the forces of nature, the universal four corners of the earth, human existence, and the struggle for power among the elements.
