The Huichol are descendants of the Aztecs, and have managed to beat the odds and have maintained their traditional culture and lifestyle despite the external pressures to blend in with the mainstream.
I thought it was particularly interesting that the word they use to refer to themselves is Wixalika, which translates as "prophets" and "healers."
