Milwaukee County Parks System
Land & Water Acknowledgment
We respectfully acknowledge that the land and waterways encompassed by the Milwaukee County Park System are on the ancestral homeland of Indigenous People, including the Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, and Menominee. We recognize that they were forcefully removed from their lands along the shores of Michigami, North America’s largest system of freshwater lakes, where the Milwaukee, Menomonee, and Kinnickinnic rivers meet and where the people of Wisconsin’s sovereign nations remain present. In honoring the ancestral owners and stewards of these lands and waterways, we strive to be respectful stewards.

More about the dances performed by Ometochtli
Section 1: Xochipitzahuatl
Xochipitzahuatl is a Nahuatl word composed of Xochitl, meaning “flower,” and pitzahuatl, meaning “small” — together, “little flower.”
It is a beautiful traditional song sung in the Nahuatl language. The accompanying dance represents an offering to something or someone special. It can be performed at weddings, to celebrate the birth of a child, or during religious festivals.
The song and dance are a powerful representation of the blending of two cultures. The lyrics and attire reflect Indigenous traditions, while the dance is also performed in Catholic celebrations — a practice that emerged from the cultural exchange following the arrival of the Spanish.
Section 2: Aztec Dance with Popoxcomitl
Aztec Dance is a spiritual and cultural expression of Mexico’s Indigenous peoples, rooted in pre-Hispanic rituals. These dances serve as a form of prayer, meditation, and communication with the spiritual world. Dancers move in circles, wearing traditional regalia and making offerings to honor nature, their ancestors, and especially the four elements — earth, air, fire, and water.
More than just a performance, Aztec Dance is a living tradition that helps reconnect participants with their Indigenous identity, heal the wounds of colonization, and preserve cultural heritage. This sacred practice has endured for more than 500 years and continues to thrive in communities throughout Mexico and beyond.
Dances: Firma, Tonantzin, Águila Blanca, Paloma, Copiteo.
Section 3: Closing up for círculo de la Danza.
There are several dances for Aztec dance, but one of the dances that brings energy is Fuego dance! Dancers connect with the element of fire, expressing its strength and vitality through movement. We bring our own energy into the dance, allowing it to flow, transform, and fill the space with life.
The Fuego dance can be performed before or during the Poktapok game — an ancient Mesoamerican ball game similar to today’s soccer. It serves as a way to celebrate life, unity, and the connection between the players, the earth, and the fire element.
The dances are offerings — something we give from the heart. Through movement and reflection, we create an ofrenda (offering) filled with obsequios (gifts) to honor the elements and the spiritual world. We offer copal (sacred incense), the sound of the huehuetl (drum), and the rhythm of the atecocolli, each sound carrying our intentions and gratitude.
Dances: Firma, Fuego and ofrenda for Closing.
