The Amusgo are an indigenous group of Mexico. They live near the border of Oaxaca and Guerrero. The coast road from Acapulco to Puerto Escondido is the route you would take is visiting. The town of Zacualpan has a textile collective intended to improve the access to market in Mexico and beyond. My Mexican Textile project documents the current state of indigenous textiles in Mexico. The Amusgo are some of the more culturally resistant and preserve their textiles and dress. The Amusgo are incredible weavers and textile crafts people.
