All their attire is hand-embroidered in cross-stitch. A truly representative piece of Mexican gift. For the Huichol people who do not work in the fields or livestock, crafts are their way of subsistence, the whole family works in this work and children begin learning the craft around the age of five. The Huichol culture is guided by pre-Columbian shamanic traditions linked to ceremonies performed in their historical past. The Huichol costume is a central piece of their culture.
