In the Wixarika community El Colorín, in Del Nayar municipality, Nayarit, México, two economic-productive activities are mainly carried out: fishing and the elaboration of Huichol art. There is also incipient tourism and ingrained but depleted livestock, as well as an almost extinct agriculture. But this has not always been the case, due to at some point agriculture predominated and at another time craftsmanship. In order to understand the transformations and re-accommodates that happened to reach what is now happening in El Colorín, it is proposed to analyze the everyday life in the Aguamilpa region, from the socialized individual in a particular space and time, based on the figure of José Ríos (Matsiwa), from a microsocial scale. To this purpose, the ways of life, especially from two periods, are presented as photographs showing the way in which it has been living in the region.

Keywords : José Ríos (Matsiwa); El Colorín Nayarit; wixaritari.
