Tarahumara Life & Art
"Tarahumara Survival: Preserving Traditional Culture in the 21st Century"
Patricinio Lopez belongs to the Tarahumara people of the Sierra
Madre/Copper Canyon area in northern Mexico. The Tarahumaras are among the
most isolated and traditional people in the Americas, and speak a Uto-Aztecan language related to the Ute, Hopi and Puebloan languages. Lopez will discuss modern challenges to Tarahumara life, and play traditional music on a hand-carved violin

Accompanying Lopez will be Richard Fisher, author and explorer of the
Sierra Madre, who will discuss Tarahumara culture, including its similarities and possible connections to Ancestral Pueblo people.  Museum
