Not recent, but still fun. When I lived in Tucson, Arizona, I used to like to jog through the open spaces of an automobile air pollution inspection station, which also happened to be adjacent to a Yaqui Native American village. The Yaquis had fled Sonora, Mexico, as war refugees during the Mexican Revolution and built their village on the edge of town. As Tucson grew in the 20th Century, the village had been incorporated into the city, but it still retained a separate identity.
I was jogging past during a holiday - Easter, I think - when I saw a group of Yaqui men doing a gentler jog of their own: a tribal dance, in full regalia. They saw me, and nodded to each other. They sped up and drew up next to me, and in a kind of mocking tribute, we jogged side by side for a time.
