Sierra Madre Easter
Season 17
Episode 1709
Discover how traditions continue for indigenous peoples while new arrivals contribute to Chihuahua’s identity in other ways. Take a trip to the hills of the Sierra Madre Occidental, where the Tarahumara celebrate Holy Week in their own way and where each pueblo sends dancers and musicians to participate. The area is so remote that some groups walk for days to be a part of this celebration.
