In spring 2027, the Muwekma Ohlone Preservation Foundation will help lead the 29th Mexica New Year celebration at Emma Prusch Farm Park in San José. Over three days, more than one hundred Aztec dancers and dozens of California Native Nations will gather to honor renewal, land and community. Muwekma Ohlone Tribal Members will guide six learning experiences over the course of the program including gathering and building the túupentak (sweat lodge), lighting the ceremonial fire, hosting sunrise and dance ceremonies and sharing knowledge at our public education booth. Visitors of all ages will learn how intentional cultural burning restores native plants, reduces wildfire risk and strengthens the relationship between people and the land. Youth will also learn from Tribal elders about building with natural materials, honoring the change of seasons and welcoming the elements. These experiences show how Indigenous knowledge and modern science can work side by side to care for both culture and climate through ceremony, storytelling and hands-on practices.
