From March 1st-15th, a group of Huicholes from the remotest part of their territory are coming to Puerto Vallarta to present their culture to the people of Puerto Vallarta at Plaza Caracol.
This is something special because one gets the chance to interact with "pure" Huicholes (including families,) buy authentic Huichol art and give them material help like blankets, sleeping bags, medical goods (vitamins, aspirin, etc.,) babyware, kid's clothes and books in Spanish.
The Huicholes are very special in themselves - they possess the most complex indigenous culture in Mexico and are still proudly protective of it. The group coming to PV are still living in very hard conditions way up in the Sierra Madre Mountains. It is a tough trek for them to make it here and we hope that the response of the PV community will be generous and welcoming.
Don't miss your opportunity to get a glimpse into the rich ancesteral customs and cultures of Mexico, while providing the Huichol people with a means of livelihood that encourages them to maintain and preserve their cultural and spiritual identity.
Be sure to stop by Plaza Caracol in Puerto Vallarta between March 1st and 15th, 2008 for the 3rd Annual Wixaritari Tateikie Huichol Festival. |
