For some reason the blogger website will not let me put captions on some of my pictures so here are the slides and websites I used for the pictures that do not have captions.

Websites I used for information throughout my blog-

The book I found that had a ton of information about the Huichol people was called People of the Peyote written by: Stacy Schaefer. I would write it out in MLA format but I had to return it and forgot about that format. I found it on the internet at this website.

Music of the Huichol


Music is a huge part of the Huichol culture. Their music influences and linked to their everyday lives. The Huichol people make their own instruments out of the materials they have. Most Huichol musicians play the guitar. They hand craft and custom make every guitar they have. Some of the better musicians have actually made it bigger than just a tribal musician. Music is traditionally used for all sorts of religious purposes, such as playing during stories being told and before being sent on the traditional peyote hunt.


Because the Huichol culture is starting to be forgotten about, some groups of the Huichol musicians are starting to play concerts, to spread and help people learn about the forgotten group. Some of these groups have actually become so praised for their music, that they are actually being put on tours all around Mexico. The Huichol people hope that this showing of their traditional music will help mainstream people become interested in the culture.


Here are some links to watch different types of Huichol music:
