Santiago Aquismon, a Huasteca town, located in the State of San Luis Potosi. The village still maintains its language and to some degree its textile tradition. During the towns Saint Day celebration their Quechquemitl and embroidered bag were very much in use. During a baptism ceremony a unique "papoose" to carry kids was universally used. There are at least two active embroidery groups with over 150 embroiderers. Bob Freund 8/8/2004 For more information contact: info@mexicantextiles.com
