The University of Regina has used video material featuring aboriginal people as a base for constructing teaching resources and we invite teachers to use these resources. We also encourage teachers to use this video material to construct their own lessons.

Venado es un retrato de los jicareros, responsables de cumplir con la
mitológica y épica tradición wirrárika (huichola).
Los marakate (chamanes, cantadores, curanderos) recorren más de tres
mil kilómetros de eternos paisajes sostenidos por su compleja espiritualidad y
su gran sentido del humor.
Venado is a portrait of the jicareros, the practitioners of the mythological and epic wirrárika tradition. The schamans travel through eternal landscapes supported by their complex spirituality and great sense of humor. During their feasts, poetics are essential and routinary.
"A los marakate los guían
el fuego y las plumas; en el canto ellos van a encontrar el camino...... si
no hay jicareros para entregar las ofrendas en los lugares sagrados, puede
venir la enfermedad, o puede dejar de llover".
