10.1 Day of the Dead: A Mexican Celebration David Yetman takes a fresh look at the lands that make up much of the Western Hemisphere. Each country contains landscapes, peoples, and history that have not received the attention they deserve on the world stage. In the first of ten programs, Yetman visits Oaxaca, Mexico, to learn how many Native American groups in pre-Conquest Mexico celebrated one day each year when their deceased ancestors would return to visit them—El Dia de los Muertos. This ancient tradition has become the state of Oaxaca’s most important celebration. (1 of 10)
