Morelos


We just learned about the Mexico state of Querétaro.

Another state in Mexico is Morelos.

This is one of the smallest states in Mexico, in the southern part of the country, not on the coast.

The coat of arms has a cornstalk growing in the dirt, for the good farmland of the state.
The words around the center mean "The land will be returned to those who work it with their hands."

This state has some of the oldest ruins found ever in North America, over 8,000 years old!

There is a special type of dance called Chinelos that is in Morelos, where dancers wear fancy costumes and march in parades.
