The Huichol Tribe
The Huichol (Wixaritari) are a small indigenous tribe of
approximately 35,000, living in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico. They are
considered one of the last cultures in North America to have maintained their
pre-Columbian traditions unto the modern day.
Origins of the Deer Dance Ceremony
According to Huichol cosmology, the origins of this
ceremony date back to the birth of the Sun. The dance is a reenactment of
creation itself and honors our sacred relationship to the light. Kauyumari (The
Magical Deer Spirit) is representative of our super-conscious mind and acts as
an intermediary between our hearts and the spiritual world of nature.
