"During 1963 and 1964 we made several trips through the north of the State of Oaxaca with the aim of gathering ethnographic materials from the indigenous groups that inhabit that region, and which were essential for the installation of the Oaxaca ethnography room of the new National Museum of Anthropology. "The objects that were gathered constitute a collection of great value for researchers and the photographs that were obtained are of excellent quality. In this book a selection of them is presented as a faithful testimony of the existence of a good number of Mexicans who still preserve a good part of their ancient traditions and who, isolated in their communities, long for a better life." -- Introduction
