Shortly after this the Spanish established Villa de Aguilar in the heart of the upper Tarahumara county. The Tarahumara split into two distinct groups from this point on. Those in the lower missions continued to move into the general Christian population and would largely lose their tribal identity.

This resulted in driving the Jesuits and Spanish settlers from the area. The Jesuits returned in the s and baptized thousands of Tarahumara, but these people continued to retain a separate identity. By the lower Tarahumara missions were turned over to secular priests. With the dissolving of the Jesuits in Spanish territories in most of the missions among the Tarahumara were no longer operated. After a short period of bonanza the jesuits were expelled in from all Spanish domains.
In Tarahumara this meant its replacement by the franciscans which in spite of very devoted and enthusiastic efforts did not match the jesuit feats and the missions declined. The jesuits returned at the beginning of the 20th Century and reestablished the abandoned missions.

The Tarahumara were not conquered by the Aztecs , [ 7 ] have survived wars with the Spanish , the French and the Americans [ 8 ] but nowadays they have to struggle to protect their grounds from being taken by the Mexican army, drug lords or corporations that want to exploit their mineral resources. Massive deforestation is a major issue as hardly any forest is left in the Sierra Madre since in the end of the s the first loggers arrived.
The Mexican Commission of Solidarity and Defense of Human Rights produced a report in stating that the government fails in studying the effects of lumber production on the ecosystem. Through the liberalization of laws in the s the situation only aggravated more, resulting in the exhaustion of resources. The environmental disaster is also the consequence of mining activities. The mining history dates back to AD, for the Totec and Mayan civilizations were engaged in mining too.
Georgius Agricola mentioned already in that mining leads to deforestation, the disappearance of wild life and watershed contamination. Their existence is also threatened by drug violence resulting from the cultivation and trade in this region of drugs by kingpins.
Deforestation is one of the environmentally damaging consequences. Logging is not only controlled by the Mexican government, but areas are also cleared by illegal cutters and drug lords who use it to grow marijuana or opium seeds or to clear the area for their operations. Right now the Sierra Madre is one of the most productive drug growing regions on the planet. The drug cartels usually have links with logging companies so the latter can launder money earned in the drug trade.
This not only kills the intentioned crops, but also those from the Tarahumara people. Add to the problem the pollution and these environmental damages increase even more the misery of the Tarahumara who struggle to survive. The ongoing battles between the cartels affects them too as they are also killed, bribed and tortured. The Sierra Madre, the refuge of the Tarahumara, is home to peaks and canyons that are hard to reach.

Varied herbs are ground up and mixed with water into a paste which is then fermented overnight by a fire. Then the paste is combined with the corn liquid and fermented for another three to four days.
Logging has occurred since the end of the s when the first loggers arrived. Later, liberalization of laws in the s resulted in the exhaustion of resources. Similarly, the North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA boosted foreign investment which resulted in the privatization of communal land, and market-based mechanisms of environmental regulation.

Baldenegro spent much of his life defending the ancient forests of the Sierra Madre region from the devastating effects of logging. Drought has also been affecting the region for ten years and has worsened in recent years.
Due to the lack of water, crops were destroyed and famine spread. Their dependence on the environment worsens the situation, as they lack employment opportunities to generate income in non-farming activities. Mining dates to AD with the Toltec and Mayan civilizations. The Sierra Madre part of this belt is one of the world's most prolific gold and silver mining districts. Reforms in the s allowed foreign ownership, and resulted in reopening of mines and increased mining. In , Mexico's mining output reached high levels: Logging is not only controlled by the Mexican government, but also practiced illegally by loggers and drug lords who use the forests to grow marijuana or opium or as space for their operations.
Drug cartels usually have links with logging companies who launder money earned in the drug trade. The remote terrain of the Sierra Madre has long served as a refuge of the Tarahumara. However, roads and tourism have expanded, bringing opportunities for some but problems for others. Along with new auto roads, railways built into the area have developed lumbering and tourism, which have accelerated the rate of modernization among the Indians.

These rituals can sometimes last as long as 48 hours. Sometimes it is also made with still-green stalks, fruits of certain cactuses, shrubs, wheat, and trees when corn is sparse.
The process begins by malting the corn and spreading it in a shallow basket covered with pine needles each day for four or five days. It is kept moist until the corn sprouts by which time the starch in the corn has fermented. It is then mashed and boiled for eight hours.
Varied herbs are ground up and mixed with water into a paste which is then fermented overnight by a fire. Then the paste is combined with the corn liquid and fermented for another three to four days.
