Rowéeña Newá (doing the “Huayal” or “Ariweta”)

The traditional game of the “rarámuris” indigenous women of the state of Chihuahua is called the Huayal race or Ariweta. The preparation of the components is simple and easy to carry out. The first object used for the race is the Huayal, Ariweta or Rowéela, in Rarámuri, which consists of an intertwined piece of branches mainly from willows, covered with pieces of phosphorescent fabric and with a diameter that varies depending on the runner, normally measuring between 7cm to 12cm in diameter.
