Colorful shawls worn by Tarahumara Indian women dry on a line in Mexico's Copper Canyons.
Until recently, the remoteness of the Tarahumara's homeland—the canyons' deep, rock-lined gorges—has allowed these intensely shy people to preserve much of their native culture.
But a decade of government-promoted tourism in the region is bringing the outside world to their doorstep.

I love the contrast of the shawls to the rock. When I lived in Cuernavaca, I was always impressed by the colorful clothing that was work by the natives.

I find these things very inspiring, one is tempted to turn the clock back, but I'm a modern even a futuristic girl through and through so I guess I'd be pretty useless there.
