Just as New Yorkers are welcoming the longest day of the year, the people of the Andes are celebrating the shortest — because after that, things just get better. Inti Raymi, a festival enjoyed in Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador, heralds the winter solstice and the sunshine and plantings that are to follow. The National Museum of the American Indian will join the revelry with free festivities that include an opening ceremony, the presentation of an altar and interactive performances of music and dance by the Kichwa Nation of Ecuador and other groups.
