On the road with Human Rights Attorney Carlos Chávez of AJAGI (Asociación Jaliscense de Apoyo a Grupos Indígenas, or Jalisco Association in Support of Indigenous Groups) in the sometimes treacherous Huichol territories, I learn about the struggle of these unique people to preserve their land and their culture. Recorded for Evening Edition, KOPN, Columbia, Mo., Feb. 26, 2010.

Oh Tracy, this is such beautiful reporting… I so hope that the efforts of these brave allies and the Huichol people are succesful. What a tremendously powerful victory for both indigenous people and the still thriving land for which they are caretakers.
