The Sierra Tarahumara of Northern Mexico is named for the people who have lived there for centuries. In their own language they are the Raramuri, or "foot runners".
The largest indigenous group North of Mexico City with the exception of the Navaho, they are also the least affected by the outside world - perhaps because they can run so fast, so tirelessly far. For hundreds of years they have run from countless invaders who would alter their culture, tame their wildness, sanitize their animistic view of the world the live in. A view perfectly suited to the powerful physical presence of their home, Las Barrancas del Cobre, the Copper Canyon.
It has been a gift to be within this holy place and to come to know these wonderful people. I am eternally grateful for the privilege of photographing them and their mother mountains, and these images are my tribute.
