Explore ancient Aztec civilization, the Spanish influence brought to the region after the landing of Cortés, and the meanings behind the design of the flag of Mexico. Review ancient pictographs of animals indigenous to North America and discuss the modern holiday, DÃa de los Muertos.Â
Plus, everyone gets to learn about how masks become puppets, see a real mask from the Center’s collection – and build their very own 3-D paper eagle mask during the workshop!Â
