Level 3
Latinos living in the U.S. embrace two cultures: their Raza heritage and the culture of their new home.

"My sweet beloved homeland,
your voice and my song
joined today in exile
wound me
like a dagger in my soul

Patria, mi dulce amada,
tu voz y mi canto
unidos hoy en el exilio
me duelen
como puñal en al alma."

Poem taken from Glenn Welker’s website: http://www.indians.org/welker/mayamenu.htm
