Notes: Pamphlet. The Huichol are a Central Mexican indigenous group, occupying areas of Jalisco, Nayarit, and Zacatecas. In the 1890’s Carl Lumholtz spent more than 5 years living among the Huichol. Their language is related to Aztecan, and more distantly to the Piman and Hopi, as well as Tanoan. Why this pamphlet is entitled “Happy People”, after all the crap the Huichol have endured, is something you’ll have to take up with Bertha Dutton.
