Dying Traiditions in a Mexican Pueblo

Season 19 Episode 1909

Host David Yetman takes a trip to the pueblos of the Sierra Madre, where traditions are slowly dying out as the big cities become more accessible to the population. After stopping to see a donkey-powered Pinole grinder made of stone, he heads to agrarian community of Sahuaripa to visit its talabartería (a leather goods shop) and call upon the last remaining weaver of palm hats and baskets.
