The Huichol are Native Americans living in the Sierra Madre Occidental in the states of Jalisco, Nayarit, Zacatecas, and Durango in Mexico. Their language belongs to the Aztecoiden branch of the Uto-Aztecan family. The Huichol economy is based on hunting, gathering, and fishing along with slash-and-burn subsistence agriculture. Some Huichol migrate for seasonal wage labor. The Huichol file consists of one article, a cultural summary that was published in the Encyclopedia of World Cultures in 1995. The cultural summary includes information on history, settlement patterns, economy, kinship, marriage, family, sociopolitical organization, and religion
