We are pleased to welcome volunteer translator Cynthia Medina to our project team. Cynthia will be helping us to get some of our site translated so more people can enjoy the articles and information posted here.

We offer thanks to Travis Wheatly for this wonderful slideshow of photographs of Raramuri from the 1960's - before the railroad!

Enjoy this article and photographic slide show from the New York Times about the Raramuri.

Greetings!

I have been contacted by student Arthur Cortez with a number of questions about Raramuri Culture. I only run the machines that keep this site running, so I don't feel qualified to answer his questions, but I thought the Radio Tarahumara community might be able to help him out.

His questions were regarding:

• Geographic location
• Traditional clothing
• Traditional food
• Raramuri music
• Interesting facts or cultural practices
• Traditional stories and cultural mythos (creation stories, etc)

I found this article and thought it was interesting. It mentions that Rarámuri runners seem to be "immune to the injuries that plague the rest of the running world."

Enjoy.
