A Search For Tarahumara Indians (Solo Journal-Documentary)

in #life6 years ago


I thank
Loria, Martin, Jonathan's Dad and Jonathan and Miguel for guiding me and giving me a lift.

Probably one of the best experience shared with the Tarahumara Indian family near Creel in Copper Canyon. I look back and I will never forget their names and faces.

Before parting with these humble family, I never felt this heart-warming while spending a night with them.

Alberto: the middle kid of the family whom I spent the most time with, took me around his playground. We made a little fire using his technique to gather materials as fast as we could. We picked up some plumbs around the trees as a snack. Helped them cook for dinner, wash clothes, and shared the moment together even though we couldn't understand a word we were saying to each other.

Everything was so pure. I never felt so free in my life for this short period of time. I gave myself in to ask for their permission to take me in as a guest in order to learn more about their culture and lifestyle just for a night.

The elderly woman called "Petra" without a second of hesitation made me feel at home.

Alberto became pretty fond of me and I felt the same way.
Before leaving, I had a sense he wasn't happy to see me leave.
It was difficult for me to leave behind again as always.

He then decided to give me his hand-made jewelry carved out of bone and strings made out of tree barks.

The craftsmanship of these people are just amazing.
I was feeling very sad and at the same time put me in a state of indescribable feeling I haven't felt in a long time.

Thank you for journeying to the remote people's lands. It is so important to understand colonization, and the long term effects on culture and family where generational trauma is involved.
