National Hispanic Heritage Month is the period from September 15 to October 15 in the United States, when people recognize the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the United States and celebrate the group’s heritage and culture.
Hispanic Heritage Past and Present- Who are the Hispanics? This video explores the Heritage and Culture of US Hispanics as it evolved from the meld of Spanish, Indian and African influences. It depicts the achievements of the Aztecs and the Incas and the introduction of the African culture to the islands of Puerto Rico and Cuba after the Taino Indians perished from their encounter with the Spaniards. It also relates the importance of the Spanish Language, Religion and Family in the lives of present-day Hispanics in the United States and to the culture of the country.
