Abstract
This document primarily draws on information the author gathered in the field in 1934, with additional data from Carl Lumholtz, who conducted fieldwork among the Huichol from 1894 to 1897. Much of the book is devoted to discussing change and continuity in the social and religious life of the Huichol in the face of increasing contact with Spanish missionaries and the Mexican state. Specific themes include: the place of religion in household relations and community life, mythology and organized ceremonials, sacred arts and symbolic representation, spirituality and acculturation, and technology and economic life.
