Today, the Chihuahuan society is made up of indigenous groups that still preserve their roots and strong traditions . Currently , the main group in number and cultural influence in the state is that of the Tarahumara . Original inhabitants of these lands, were forced to retire to live in a portion of the mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental , today known as the Sierra Tarahumara. As in the rest of the country , this ethnic group is among the poorest and most marginalized state . Part of its economy is sustained by selling sikolís and bitikolís , pots and pottery and textiles and beadwork jewelry offered at tourist sites in the state.

Chihuahua is in all means a place for you to discover. You can spend hours walking around and get intrigued by it's people, trying to understand who they are. The more I see, the more I can't stop capturing the moment, trying to reflect the steet life of Chihuahua. A big challenge for just a few days.
