Using both documentary and published sources, she weaves a concise, accessible narrative of the Huichol from the conquest to the present day, paying particular attention to their resistance to missionizing and continual dogged defense of their lands in times of peace and war. Stephens highlights the paradox of Huichol indigenous identity: the fact that a people perennially fractured by political and local identities might still so successfully maintain their ethnic identity and autonomy.
