This lady is not Huichol! Se hace pasar por indígena para robarle a los turistas.

@KaliBoyinPDX I think she is from US, but has some native american roots, she never told me she is Huichol, just follows their tradition...

HI!!.. I was wandering were in mexico city did u guys go and find Aracely cuz I want go and find aout about my roots ,cuz Im part mexican and menonite. :)

@WhiteMGirl this is Huichol tradition, you can start by going to Tepic, Nayarit and go from there, there is a street next to the main square where Huichol people sell their artwork. We went to San Andres Cohamiata. Good luck.

it is sad to see this! hicury is and andagered specie,and encourage americans to do this is ,helping to destroy the plant ,obiously she is not huichol indian,women from the wirrarica tribe are very reserved, and her confidence is scary, cause she talk to much, she cant be truth , by the way did you saw the peyote with roots and complete on a plastic container ?, that is exactly whay you dont do never ever!!.

@jazzlefty, I can't talk for Arcelia, although I know she has enough personal experience to be certain of some things, but as for hicury's you saw they are very much alive and blooming back here in Croatia :), spreading seeds across the globe to make sure that it will never be endangered species. But I agree with you, desert rituals and harvesting peyotes for consumption should only be done by Huichol, for the Huichol. Rest of us should grow our own.

Es muy facil de juzgar, dificil hacerlo por eso hablamos de mas, has tu movimiento por un despertar interno mas rapido, es muy facil ver al torero desde las gradas, pero no serlo, sea o no sea huicholl lleva la tradicion , y sea cual sea la tradicion lo importante es que ayuda a sanar a drogadictos a alcoholicos, adictos al sexo, muchos ven en ella a una persona esquizofrenica una ser muy loco ,  yo veo una maestra. union carnalitos ya dejemonos de estupideces, mitakuye oyasin somos uno
