 Tehuantepec is located on the international highway in the south of the state of Oaxaca. The geographic area is the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. It is coastal plain, hot and humid. |
 In 1994 during the parade for the Guelegetza festival I was able to film a great number of young Tehuana ( Zapotec) women as they passed by. They would through candy and fruit to the crowd. |
 This Tehuana huipil is embroidered on velvet with cotton thread. The skirt has a machine made cotton lace fringe along the bottom. |
