I will eventually add some Huichol links to my page on art of Mexico. I was
looking for non-commercial sites - but those are hard to find. I have listed
a few commercial sites that have nice images and background information. If
anyone finds a university site or museum site with information and images -
please post. There are many commercials sites out there. Thought I would
post these in case anyone else was interested. It will be a while before I
put them on my site.
