The Tarahumara are Native Americans who live in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico and who speak a Uto-Aztecan language. The Tarahumara economy is based on the cultivation of maize, beans, and squash, supplemented by the sale of some crops, items for tourists, and wage labor. At the end of the twentieth century they mostly lived in small hamlets and dispersed homesteads near their fields.
