Using Multimedia 19 pilgrimage. The Huichol pilgrims explain that this sacred area in the desert Wirikúta is where their people originated, for this reason they return each Spring. Traditionally on foot, the 300-mile journey begins on the pacific coast of Nayarit. Heading east, the trek requires Huichol pilgrims to cross three states to reach the desert of San Luis Potosí. Recent fencing of portions of the path has forced the Huichol to take alternative routes with the use of automobiles. The presentation conveys how the journey allows Huichol individuals to seek a vision that shows them their path in life. The video focuses particular attention on collecting of sacred peyote cactus for religious ceremony as a vital custom of Huichol culture. Sacred music performed during ceremonial procedures shows the interconnectedness of music. This accessible DVD is an enlightening example of first-hand fieldwork. These resources connect the continually developing fields of technology and ethnomusicology, largely through the means of the Internet and the World Wide Web. The capabilities of multimedia bring academia to the general public through Web pages and virtual libraries. The innovative technology offers guidance for whoever is ready to accept new media as an effective method of worldwide communication in any discipline. The aforementioned books and journals influenced the direction of this study in several ways. The lack of resources about the Huichol music identifies a need for continued and updated research about the indigenous culture. There are few Huichol musical recordings, and some of the audio samples available on record and cassette were scratched, deteriorated or missing necessary supplementary materials. Concentrating on music as an intertwined element of culture, the new fieldwork presented in this project
Using Multimedia 20 brings an audience up-to-date with the musical developments of the Huichol culture with the facility of more pervasive, flexible and reliable formats of digital media.
