Decolonize Our Land & Minds

In our native land of Los Angeles California, Chicano Culture is on the front lines of decolonization.

Long before basketball and soccer, ancient Mayans were hitting the park to play rounds of Mesoamerican ballgame. Dating back to 3000 B.C., the game is played with a solid rubber ball that could only be hit by a player’s hip. Today, in Los Angeles, Califonria, (Nuestra Señora La Reina de los Angelea) a group of athletes are determined to bring back the ancient ballgame and honor the traditions of their ancestors. It was played all across Meso-america by the Aztecs. But more than just a game it was a ritual. Valeria Leon reports on the game making a comeback.

We are telling our stories, with our own voice.
