NOTES
"A young girl proudly wears a colorful tunic, or huipil, that features the sun's reflection. It symbolizes the lake she lives on, a design she sometimes embellishes with shimmering sequins and beads. Her abuela's huipil highlights zigzag mountains to stand for her home of origin, while her sister's boasts butterflies like the ones that she rides in her daydreams. Indigenous to Mesoamerica, huipils use colors, imagery, symbols, and motifs to evoke everything from the wearer's village to her social status, from her cultural heritage to the things that she loves." --
