Host overview

In 1981, this center was established to help preserve and archive the customs and traditions of one of the most in-tact last remaining indigenous tribes in the Western Hemisphere. The 8,000 surviving Uto-Aztecan members of the Huichol tribe who have, until recently, lived undisturbed in the rugged Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range in the states of Nayarit and Jalisco, Mexico, have a rich cultural legacy that is on the verge of cultural extinction.
