https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huichol

The Huichol or Wixáritari are an indigenous people of Mexico living in the Sierra Madre Occidental range in the states of Nayarit, Jalisco, Zacatecas, and Durango. They are best known to the larger world as the Huichol, however, they refer to themselves as Wixáritari ("the people" ) in their native Huichol language.

The group is called Venado Azul - Blue Deer, a representation of the god Kauyumari
