Huichole Always Finds a Home
For Wife When He Divorces Her

Mexico City, Aug. 4.-(F-After
living for months among the Nomad
Huichole Indians. in the state Of
Nayarit. Porfirio Aguirre, or the
archaeological section Of the national
museum, has returned to civilization
with an interesting account Of the
strange customs observed among
these sun-worshipping polygamist
wanderers.
For centuries the Huicholes have
lived undisturbed In the wild interior
Of Nayarit, constantly moving about
in search Of escape from death, which
they fear more than do any other
tribe or people in Mexico.
When one of their number dies,
they abandon their crops and flee
thinking thus to evade a repetition
Of the event.
Aguirre said while they worship
some of the Christian Saints, they
look to the sun as their God and pray
to 1t.
When a Huichole brave has proved
himself capable of tilling a parcel o.
land, he is permitted to wed. He ma,

port, the average number being four.
The husband goes out Of his way
to respect and treat his wives well,
Aguirre explained. At meal time his
wives sit on their launches in a circle
about him, offering tortillas and
chile they have prepared for him, and
to avoid hurting the feelings Of any
one the brave eats an equal amount
Of the food offered by each:
There are times, Aguirre said. when
a husband wishes to dispose Of n Of
his wives. In such cases, he talks to
her kindly, explaining that he no
longer wishes her in his encourage,

her.
When he finds another brave who
is willing to add her to his house.
hold, he offers her in trade, accepting
usually a horse, an OK OF a burro, ac-
cording to the value he attaches to
her.
The Huicholes live in caves and are
q happy people. apart from their fear
