Fair Trade for Huichol Art

Shortly after my last post I came across this video on YouTube. It is a great example of the kind of organisation that Karuna Village wants to work with to help them fulfill their aim to help indigenous groups like the Huichol get a fair price for their art. The Konshak Foundation was formed to help the Huichol Indians to market their art at a fair market price, and to "create new fusion of contemporary art".

The video very succinctly highlights the plight of the Huichol and how such organisations as the Konshak Foundation can be of help without being overtly intrusive. This is a great example of what amazing good the internet is capable of facilitating - a subject I would like to delve into further some time.
Enjoy!
