Description: Painting in unknown media depicts a coyote (or wolf) with a forked tongue wearing a fedora in the upper left corner. One side of his tongue reads, "Spanish", the other, "Inglés". A word bubble from his mouth reads, "Q'Vo Que Paza Paso Pazando Pa' Siempre K-Z". Title text reads, "Chicanozauro 500". In the upper right corner, a calavera, a cross, and a Mayan police officer are enclosed in a barbed wire frame. Text reads, "In the Beginning" and "Que Nuevas". In the lower left corner, a rectangle contains an image of a Mayan man handing a woman a torch. In the lower left corner, the three-faced symbol of mestizaje speaks two word bubbles. The one on the left reads, "La Causa La Huelga La Migra La Chota Bilingl Ed Racismo Genocide Drogas K-Z". The one on the right reads, "Power Respeto Libertad Culture Aztlán". There is also a lowrider with the words "La Lucha Keeps On" driven by the pachuco wolf.
