FUJIFILM PRO 1805 51341 CJBBFC The Tarahumara The Tarahumara Indians of Chihuahua originally occupied more than 28,000 square miles of mountainous terrain, an area that is larger than West Virginia. Occupying an extensive stretch of the Sierra Madre Mountains, the Tarahumara Indians were ranchería people who planted corn along the ridges of hills and in valleys. The Tarahumara received their first visit from a Jesuit missionary in 1607. But the ranchería settlement pattern of both the Tepehuanes and Tarahumara represented a serious obstacle to the efforts of the missionaries who sought to concentrate them into compact communities close to the missions. The Tarahumara participated in several rebellions and eventually retreated to less accessible canyons and valleys in the Sierra Tarahumara. Today, the Tarahumara are a people whose rich spiritual ideology and strong cultural identity have persevered despite the intrusion of foreign customs. In the 2010 census, 85,316 of Mexico's 89,503 Tarahumara speakers (95.3%) lived in Chihuahua.
