From the copper canyons of Mexico, her swift footsteps echo. Clip clap, clip clap.

She runs in the traditional clothes of the Rarámuri, "the light-footed people," to show that her people and their way of life are alive and thriving--outpacing runners in modern, high-tech gear and capturing the world's attention.
