Abstract
This document attempts to explain the integrity of Huichol society and religion through an examination of relations with neighboring groups, and of the forces for acculturation and assimilation. Although there are evident differences between the several territorial units ([i]comunidades indígenas[/i]), it is argued that the Huichol remain a culturally distinct ethnic group sharing a common language, religion, and heritage, even though regularly interacting with outsiders.
