Raramuri People or "runners on foot"

 Tarahumara natives of northwestern Mexico are know for their long distant running and little foot wear while doing it. They still live mainly in their natural  environment and very traditionally. A composer that studied the Tarahumara named Romayne Wheeler writes that "Music sanctifies the moment in the life of all the Tarahumara" and "All of our actions have musical meaning". (Romayne Wheeler (1993). Life through the Eyes of the Tarahumara. Editorial Camino. p. 161.)

  1. I love this. It is about evolution and MARKETNG. Ugh. The earth often is not as hard as the asphalt and cement that we have made to exist on.
