 ON THE COVER
Rosario Rivera Gutierrez (Zapotec), 14, from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec
in the southern portion of the state of Oaxaca, is dressed in her
finest to go to a Vela, a traditional fiesta in honor of a patron saint
or virgin. The Zapotec women of the Isthmus wear elaborately hand
embroidered skirts and huipiles (short tunics) with oversized flowers
that fill every inch of cloth. The women’s heavy gold necklaces and
earrings made of solid gold centenario coins are a show of wealth and
prestige. A faux braid wrapped with brightly colored ribbons crowns her
outfit.
