| Cotzocon Mixe is a huipil weaving village deep in the Sierra Mixe. Back strp alooms are used to weave huipil, rebosos, napkins, table cloths and other textile crafts. Travel to Cotzocon is over a long dirt road. Bob Freund7/14/2004 for more information contact: info@mexicantextiles.com |

 The town has about 2000 people and the size and extent of new construction really surprised me. The center of many towns in the Mixe region has received a lot of attention. The political organization is not political parties but rather a traditional form where the population appoints a group of men to be in charge. - |
 Here is a view of the hill side where many of the people live. |
