Giving Thanks

These photographs were taken by Lizz Giordano when she volunteered for Threads of Peru. She was able to observe a unique ceremony in the Sacred Valley of Peru...

"The Inca people have been living in the Scared Valley in modern-day Peru, South America since the 13th century. For many life has not changed and many still practice the ancient traditions of the weaving with the back strap loom producing textiles made from the fur of the Llama. They still observe ceremonies that give thanks to mother earth. Life will change soon as new roads are built finally linking small villages to the rest of the world." -- Lizz Giordano
