Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library
This exhibit portrays the material culture of one of the most remote and traditional indigenous groups in North America. With an economy based upon ancient maize cultivation and nomadic herding practices, the Tarahumara struggle for daily survival. But they also struggle for cultural survival in a world that is changing all around them. The displayed artifacts complement the Southwest Collection’s expanding holdings of photographs and audio/video recordings. For descriptions of the individual photos, click here.
