  • Merchants and long distance traders from Teotitlán, for example, transported the textiles by muleteer (there are displays describing the work of these men and the routes they traveled in Teotitlán's textile museum). They purchased textiles from weavers who gathered in front of Teotitlán's municipal building and then took the textiles not only to market in nearby towns but also far up into the mountains of the Sierra and down to the coast and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec as well.

  • That the Zapotec do not spin the majority of the yarn they use is therefore not something to be hidden from prospective textile buyers but something to be celebrated and understood in its proper context-- as a centuries' old tradition of exchange of goods in open air markets.
