For the Huichol people, art is a means of encoding and channeling sacred knowledge. It is considered a form of prayer, providing direct communion with the sacred realm.
Cilau Valadez is the son of renowned Huichol artist Mariano Valadez and anthropologist Susana Eger Valadez. He grew up in Santiago Ixcuintla, Nayarit Mexico. Cilau’s parents were the founders of The Huichol Center, non-profit organization that has provided medical aid, food, shelter and artist training to hundreds of Huichol migrants who worked in inhumane conditions throughout the nearby tobacco fields.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

I'm so inspired by this young man's heart and his words. His message should be shared as well as his beautiful artwork.

Obviously you see him as an outsider. He does not represent the culture well. Not everything that glitters is gold.

My grandmother is native huichol and i always got these beautiful beaded necklaces from Mexico that she would bring back. I am happy that the culture and art is still being recognized

Glad you got to find this part of your lineage. My abuela turned 104 this year and she's the only one of our family that is 100% native.

A lot of me me me, it sounds like a biography and justification of his mixed background. Not a lot to learn and he is just using the clothing as a costume. To deliver a good speech and to share your culture words are better than clothing. The people who really knows this culture would see the wrongs justby looking his manerisms and how he hold the feathers. What a clown.
