Tarahumara Indians

The Tarahumars (foot runners) are native inhabitants of the Sierra Madre with a current population of approximately 60,000. Archaeological studies reveal that they have lived in this area for thousands of years.

Today's tarahumara maintain many of their unique elements, even though they have borrowed some from western cultures, such as the domestication of sheep and goats, and they now weave their belts and blankets with the wool from these animals, instead of using agave fibers.Their superb basketry still contains pre-Hispanic characteristics and they continue to grow corn, beans and squash.
