Ehecatl Chantico Moreno (Wind and Fire of the Home) conducts a ceremony during Yaocuauhtli's sixth annual gathering called "Day of Indigenous Resistance. Held as a deliberate counterpoint to Columbus Day on October 12th, which is also sometimes called "Day of the Races," or "Hispanic Day," the event on October 11th, 2012 was meant to highlight long-standing New World traditions, saying "We are Aztecas, Zapotecas, Mexicas, Toltecas, Huicholes, Trikis, Mayas, Incas, Tarahumara, etc," and encouraging everyone to express pride in their pre-Colombian identities.
