Tarahuamara Women

Dancing during the Yumari celebration. The Yumari celebration commemorates special dates. In this case, it is the 10-year anniversary of a school in the village of Sitanachi. Most Tarahumara women live in the Sierra of Chihuahua, Mexico. Without electricity or running water, they live in sync with the environment and nature in an ancestral way. They fight to be recognized for more than the media has portrayed, as super runners. (Photo by Seila Montes Gonzalez/NurPhoto)
