About Me

My photo
I am second generation Californian with Apache and Yaqui ancestors. Yes I was born in them there hills of Los Angeles. The Yaqui were hard workers and while working on the railroads in the southwest traveled and sometimes lived on the trains with their families. Refugio Savala the Yaqui Poet lived this lifestyle and called himself a "Hobo" with humor. My Greatgrandfather and many of his family worked on the railroad also which afforded them many opportunities. This Blog is in honor of my Great Grandfather Reyes Torres.

Yaqui Easter Ceremony Book

http://www.uapress.arizona.edu/onlinebks/yaquieaster/ceremony.htm


I was trying to find out more about the Yaqui Easter Ceremony so I ordered the book from Amazon. I was researching the "Yaqui Sandals" and came across the entire book online on the link above, the only difference that it has that nice brown cover!
From looking at the pictures of the sandals they are a shorter version of the Tarahumara which I will post how to make those soon.
