#120 | Sacred Peyote: A Portal to Reciprocity & indigenous Huichol Art & Heritage | Susana Valadez

Susana Valadez is a UCLA anthropologist and the founder and director of 'The Huichol Center for Cultural Survival and Traditional Arts' in Mexico. This non-profit altruistic organization was established to support the endangered Wixárika (also called Huichol) indigenous tribe, as members of this ancient culture have been forced to transition into contemporary society, and adapt to the realities and challenges of the modern world. During the last +4 decades, Susana, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, has aided and collaborated with the Wixárika people to spearhead numerous strategies to collectively bolster their odds for cultural survival.

This lively conversation opens up a wonderful perspective into the connected worldview of the Wixárika! Susana shares:
