🌟 Grantee Spotlight: Círculo Azteca Citlaltonac Indigenous Culture Center 🌟

Through the at Inland Empire Community Foundation, organizations across the region continue to preserve culture, strengthen community spaces, and support the next generation.

Círculo Azteca Citlaltonac Indigenous Culture Center (Danza Azteca Citlaltonac) is rooted in preserving Aztec and Indigenous traditions through ceremony, education, and community gathering. A recent CIELO Fund grant helped sustain and expand their work into 2026 and beyond. ❤️

“As both a cultural center and a community space, we focus on keeping our doors open for the community and other organizations that need a place to gather and share resources,” shared Gabriela Yaocihuatl Armenta, Executive Director, Founder, and Cultural Bearer.

For more than 15 years, the center has hosted ceremonial danzas, talking circles, cultural education, and intertribal gatherings that invite community members to reconnect with identity, tradition, and healing practices passed down through generations. 🪘👐

The organization also supports student success through an annual scholarship fund for high school seniors and undergraduates, supported by community fundraising and donations.

CIELO Fund invests in organizations like Círculo Azteca Citlaltonac that preserve culture, expand access, and strengthen community across the Inland Empire.

Thank you, Domitila!
A heartfelt thank you to Domitila for sharing your culture, traditions, and wisdom with the Danza Azteca Citlaltonac community.
Together, we learned about the Ojo de Dios, a sacred woven symbol of protection, guidance, prayer, and our connection to Spirit. It reminds us that healing begins through community, intention, and the wisdom of our ancestors.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped create such a beautiful space for learning and connection.
Please follow Domitila on social media at and support her incredible work in preserving and sharing Indigenous traditions.

¡Gracias, Domitila!

For the past two years, Danza Azteca Citlaltonac has been honored to award three scholarships to local students. This achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our members, dedicated volunteers, and our amazing community.

Every purchase at our bookstore, every donation, and every fundraiser has helped make these scholarships a reality. Your generosity allows us to invest in the next generation while continuing to preserve and celebrate our cultural traditions.

At Danza Azteca Citlaltonac, we believe every student deserves to know that they belong in our colleges, universities, and other institutions of higher learning. Education empowers individuals, strengthens our community, and helps build a future rooted in equality, inclusion, compassion, and cultural pride.

Thank you for standing with us and believing in our mission. Together, we will continue creating opportunities for our youth and ensuring that our traditions and our future thrive side by side.
