- Scope and Contents
- Portrait of Maria Felix, niece of Wixarika (Huichol) marakame, or shaman, Guadalupe de la Cruz Rios, holding her son Oscar at their home in Tepic, Mexico. They are seated under a United State flag with Native American imagery superimposed on it.
- Vita Rose Narrative
- Maria Feliz and Oscar stand beneath a Native American flag in their home in Tepic, Mexico. Huichols feel a kinship with indigenous people worldwide. According to one version of their history, Huichols were once part of the greater Aztec nation, but split off when the Aztecs became warriors and conquerors. There is no record of engagement in war in Huichol history; their strength lies in their shamanic relationship to the spirit world.
