The Wixárika (also known as Huichol) people of modern-day Mexico are an ancient culture that has existed for countless generations. They were never colonized and retained their language, tribal governance, traditional arts, sacred ceremonies, and a profound cosmology that is deeply interwoven with daily life.
The Wixárika are widely renowned as expert artisans, using brilliant colors to create “string paintings” with beeswax and beadwork which depict their sacred symbols, including the blue deer (Kauyumari), corn, Hikuri, prayer tools such as candles and feathers, and the forces of nature.
