Please pay attention to the mask, there is a Quetzal, a Scarlet Macaw, a Squirrel Monkey, and a Keel-billed Toucan.
They make this masks to sell them to tourist that visits their reservation.

Neat shot Juan, looks like a lot of mix of different races in his face! Hope they are able to support themselves with more than a marginal living.
