Rendez-vous 110
Tuesday August 28 2001
Patricia is the producer of the documentary "Huicholes and Pesticides"
Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico
Thank you Patricia for accepting our rendez-vous.
May I ask you to introduce yourself?
Patricia Diaz-Romo: I was born in Guadalajara, in the state of
Jalisco, in Mexico. The Huichol Indians live in the Mexican part of the
Sierra Madre Occidental, in the states of Nayarit, Durango, Zacatecas
and in the north of Jalisco. They have kept their own forms of social
organization and their own religious beliefs. During part of the year
many Huichol families migrate to work as daily laborers in the tobacco
fields of the state of Nayarit, along the Pacific Coast. That is the
main tobacco production area in Mexico.
