Explanation:
The Aymara New Year is celebrated every year on June 21st in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Perú. It started as a celebration of the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere and the planting seasons that go with it. It was declared into a national holiday in Bolivia in 2009 by then president Evo Morales. The Aymara people are an indigenous nation in the Andes of South America, and about 1 million still live in Peru, Bolivia and Chile. Archeologists have found evidence that the Aymaras have occupied the Andes for more that 5000 years, according to some estimates.
Mexican Americans comprise 11.3% of the U.S. population and 61.9% of all Latino Americans. Most Mexican Americans reside in the Southwest (over 60% in the states of California and Texas).
