This web site is meant to offer a reference to help the collectors of the artifacts of the Indians of the Mexican Northwest. It is designed to help fit each artifact into it's place in the cultural, social, religious and ceremonial life of the Yaquis, Mayos, Tarahumara and perhaps several other peoples of the area. At present we have only covered the Yaquis. The Mayos and Tarahumara will soon follow.
