The Seri Indians of Mexico live in harmony with nature. Far from civilization, their days are punctuated by daily tasks such as preparing meals, the promise of marriage, armadillo hunting, childbirth, the death of a parent, ritual dances and also games of chance, much appreciated by adults. At the beginning of the 20th century, young people, attracted by the easy life of the cities, deserted their villages. As a result, ancestral customs, transmitted by oral tradition, disappeared with the death of the old chiefs.
