Testimonials
“[Gualiname]…a mighty Guachichil warrior that fought in the valley of San Luis Potosi…who was greatly feared by the Spanish. In the past, our ancestors were organized into smaller bands who would name themselves based on their leaders. Hence, this group follows that traditional practice. We are the Gualiname Guachichiles.

“My heart is Red,

Red as the feathers,
Red as the sparrows,
It’s not about how much we’ve lost…It’s about how much we have left…”
