Us kids never called her that to her face, but always behind her back. Even my parents started calling her Super-Sad Grandma whenever she would stay locked up in my bedroom, which was most days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mom would say something like, ”Go tell Super-Sad Grandma that dinner’s ready. I mean, go get your grandmother for dinner.” Grandma was still wearing black dresses every day and she went to church a lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I got moved into the attic with the slanted ceilings where you could only stand up straight if you were in the middle of the room. It had these exposed, splintery rafters that I kept bumping my head on, and the furnace was up there and it looked like some sort of giant mechanical octopus with all the pipes heading off in different directions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I protested the move at first, because it was creepy up there, but my sisters already shared a room and there was no way Super-Sad Grandma could climb the ladder up to the attic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was 12 then. And I wasn’t getting along with my sisters. They were some kind of unified front that always voted against me whenever my folks let us choose anything. If I wanted to play Monopoly, they voted for Mystery Date. If I wanted fish sticks for dinner, they said macaroni and cheese. I wanted a dog … they made us get a cat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I felt isolated and outnumbered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the greatest day of my life was when my cousin Dennis’ parents got divorced. I don’t mean that like it sounds. I’m sure it was terribly sad for them and for him, too, but his parents were so flat broke and each of them was trying to figure out their own lives, that neither his mom or his dad could take him with them yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I begged my parents to let Dennis live with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was my age and he was the closest thing I had in the world to a brother.

Sometimes we’d even outvote my sisters and get to watch a Western or professional wrestling on the TV. It was the answer to my prayers — to have an instant brother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every night, we’d lie in our beds up in the attic and talk and talk and talk until one of us fell asleep. There was a furnace pipe that ran right next to Dennis’ bed, and one night, long after we’d been yelled at to go to sleep for the fifth time, he cocked his head and said, “I can hear Johnny Carson.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My parents were in the living room watching TV, and the furnace pipe next to Dennis’ bed led directly to a vent over the couch they were sitting on. The two of us put our ears against the metal furnace pipe and we could make out every word Johnny was saying. His guest that night was Robin Williams. We stayed glued at the hip with our heads on the furnace pipe until the closing music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next day, we went from pipe to pipe to pipe putting our ears up against them. We could hear into every room in the entire house. We listened to my sister talk on the phone in the kitchen. We listened to my mom and dad argue about whether or not to buy a second car. And we listened to Super-Sad Grandma whispering words we could not make out at all, until we realized just by the rhythm that she was saying the Rosary prayer over and over: “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee … ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, we just listened, to listen. But being 12-year-old boys, it quickly escalated to full-on spying. It became our evening entertainment. We both learned about menstruation from listening to my mom explain what was going on to my younger sister’s body to her, but we couldn’t let on that we knew she had just gotten her first period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because we were spies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tracing the pipes back to the furnace, we saw that each pipe had a big sliding gate before it attached to the metal housing. And we realized that you could pull the door open on this gate and, not only was the sound clearer, but you could send sound the other way, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Dennis could be down in the kitchen getting us root beers and I could say into the pipe, “Get Ding Dongs and corn chips, too.” And he could hear me. It became a big game where we were talking to each other all over the house without anyone knowing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11930945\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/JP-and-Dennis-in-kitchen-e1667417652569.jpeg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11930945\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/JP-and-Dennis-in-kitchen-e1667417652569-800x1181.jpeg\" alt=\"Two young men wearing white shirts in a kitchen with one holding a cooking tool in a bowl.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1181\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/JP-and-Dennis-in-kitchen-e1667417652569-800x1181.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/JP-and-Dennis-in-kitchen-e1667417652569-160x236.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/JP-and-Dennis-in-kitchen-e1667417652569.jpeg 996w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The author (left) and his cousin/best friend, Dennis Goebel, causing trouble in the kitchen, circa 1980. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of JP Frary)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It was the week before Halloween and the whole family, except Super-Sad Grandma, was watching “Night of the Living Dead,” when my older sister just out of the blue said she didn’t believe in ghosts or zombies. The way she said it, it was like she was saying that Dennis and I \u003cem>did\u003c/em> believe in ghosts or zombies. I made eye contact with him, and I think we both had the same idea at exactly the same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the movie was over, Dennis and I went straight up the ladder and right to the pipe that connects to my sisters’ room and listened in. We waited until we thought we heard my sisters get in bed, and once we didn’t hear them moving around, we started making moaning ghost sounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ooooh. Oooooooh,” we moaned, and then we listened. But we didn’t hear anything. So we made more sounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ooooh. Oooh,” we tried again, and then we listened. But we didn’t hear them scream or anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I don’t know where it came from, but I started whispering really loudly, “I’m waiting for you. I’m waaaaaitinnnng for yooooouu!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We went on and on for 20 minutes and there was no reaction from their room. And that’s when I noticed that the furnace pipe door to my old bedroom, which was now Super-Sad Grandma’s, was also open. We had been sending ghost sounds to her, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I snuck down the ladder and saw my sisters at the dining room table sitting cross-legged on the floor in front of my mom, who was braiding their hair. So they weren’t even in their room. And I looked at my old bedroom door, but it was shut and I couldn’t see any light coming from underneath. So I just crept back up the ladder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11930946\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/Bob-and-Evelyn-Hunt-scaled.jpeg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11930946\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/Bob-and-Evelyn-Hunt-800x1165.jpeg\" alt=\"A woman wearing glasses and black shirt with a white collar has her hands on a man wearing glasses wearing a white sweater.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1165\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/Bob-and-Evelyn-Hunt-800x1165.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/Bob-and-Evelyn-Hunt-1020x1485.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/Bob-and-Evelyn-Hunt-160x233.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/Bob-and-Evelyn-Hunt-1055x1536.jpeg 1055w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/Bob-and-Evelyn-Hunt-1407x2048.jpeg 1407w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/Bob-and-Evelyn-Hunt-scaled.jpeg 1758w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The author’s grandparents, Evelyn and Bob Hunt.

But being 12-year-old boys, it quickly escalated to full-on spying. It became our evening entertainment. We both learned about menstruation from listening to my mom explain what was going on to my younger sister’s body to her, but we couldn’t let on that we knew she had just gotten her first period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because we were spies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tracing the pipes back to the furnace, we saw that each pipe had a big sliding gate before it attached to the metal housing.

I made eye contact with him, and I think we both had the same idea at exactly the same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the movie was over, Dennis and I went straight up the ladder and right to the pipe that connects to my sisters’ room and listened in. We waited until we thought we heard my sisters get in bed, and once we didn’t hear them moving around, we started making moaning ghost sounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ooooh.

I’m waaaaaitinnnng for yooooouu!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We went on and on for 20 minutes and there was no reaction from their room.

For a long time, Vargas said, the elders have shied away from participating in political events or protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They don't want to align themselves with politicos because somebody could be cool one day and the next day, not cool,” he explained. “So you can't be affiliating with people who are wishy-washy, so it's sort of like the spiritual mission is more important than any political [one].”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A history of violence against dancers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Another big reason why many Azteca dancers have avoided protests is because historical violence has been etched into their memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vargas remembers the Tlatelolco massacre in the days before the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico. Eyewitnesses say government forces opened fire on student protesters, killing hundreds. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=97546687\">The tragedy and its aftermath had a chilling effect on student activists and cultural performers.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over there [in Mexico], they have memories of once again people being killed,” said Vargas. “You risk your life standing up against the government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That comes on top of historical violence against Indigenous people — including dancers — since colonization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During the early years of bringing the danza out to the public, people were getting attacked and jailed and killed for practicing these traditions,” explained Vargas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11930976\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11930976 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/RS51910_083_SanFrancisco_IndigenousPeoplesDay_10112021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"An Aztec dancer in colorful feathered head dresses garb plays a traditional percussion instrument as another dancer stands in the background on a lawn surrounded by onlookers\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1278\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/RS51910_083_SanFrancisco_IndigenousPeoplesDay_10112021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/RS51910_083_SanFrancisco_IndigenousPeoplesDay_10112021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/RS51910_083_SanFrancisco_IndigenousPeoplesDay_10112021-qut-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/RS51910_083_SanFrancisco_IndigenousPeoplesDay_10112021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/RS51910_083_SanFrancisco_IndigenousPeoplesDay_10112021-qut-1536x1022.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Teokalli Aztec Dancers from the Bay Area and Mexico City dance during the third annual Indigenous Peoples Day Commemoration at Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco on Oct. 11, 2021. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But in the U.S., Sanchez said, many dancers see performing as an inherently political act because they are reclaiming their Indigenous cultural identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of troupes, for example, performed at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Indians-gather-on-Alcatraz-in-memory-of-occupation-5019944.php\">Indigenous Peoples Day Sunrise Gathering\u003c/a> last month, an event that challenges centuries of colonization and genocide with a gathering on Alcatraz Island that features both Aztec and Native American dancers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The point of dancing is to bring health and well-being,” said Gutierrez, adding that dancing has helped him focus his energy in a positive direction.
