Product Details
|
While traveling with his family to their sacred mountain, young Tunuri follows a beautiful butterfly until he becomes lost in the forest. Then a magical deer appears and takes Tunuri on an enchanted journey to meet Father Sun, Brother Wind, Sister Water, Mother Earth, and finally Grandfather Fire, who explains that Tunuri has met his nature family and will never be alone.
Based on a traditional Huichol tale and vividly illustrated with traditional yarn art by contemporary Huichol artisans, Tunuri's journey offers a glimpse into the Huichol culture. Geographically isolated in the remote regions of the Sierra Madre Mountains, the Huichol have retained their nature-based way of life and held on to their cultural and spiritual traditions, believing that their pilgrimages to sacred sites are necessary to keep balance in the world. Information about the Huichol, their sacred symbols, and how the yarn drawings were created closes this inspiring, comforting story, which offers an excellent introduction to a contemporary indigenous culture.
Ages 4-8, hardcover.
