WE MAKE OUR IDENTITY VISIBLE
by wearing our own costumes.
The huipiles are made by women.
In the knitting use a design to give a
message which is really meaningful to
us. There are huipiles that are related
to time, to the month and day of the
year.

I wear my own costume which
has a special meaning for me.
I grew up with it and I dress as
my mother taught me to. I am
an indigenous woman and I
am proud of wearing it.
