Tarahumaran/Rarámuri baby names & surnames

May 27, 2009 18:32

My story takes place in present-day Barranca del Cobre in Chihuahua, Mexico. A list of traditional Rarámuri names is ideal, but if you can offer me even a handful of first names and maybe a popular surname, that would suffice. (Please don't pluck them from news articles online; I could do that, too, but I feel uncomfortable with the idea.)

I've Googled combinations of: Tarahumara, Rarámuri, girl, baby, names, surnames. (With quotes and/or + signs interspersed.) If you have suggestions for new search terms or if you know of a resource I'm somehow missing, please let me know.

Thank you!

P.S. If you have any information or anecdotes to impart (perhaps you're related to or have visited the Rarámuri), I won't say no to those either. A lot of the experiences I find related on the Internet are heavy on the facts and light on the opinions and personal observations. I want both, if I can get 'em.
