INDIO VAQUERO Pai-Pai

A Pai Pai indian vaquero on horseback stops on the main road through Santa Catarina Indio tribal village in northern Baja California, Mexico, for a photo opportunity.

The Paipai Native American Indian horse rider a caballero is wearing leather chaps or chapareras.

When this foto caballo was taken on the main road running through Santa Catarina, the remote high desert ejido had no wired electricity or running water in the Indian homes -- horses were still being used for ranching, transportation, and sport by the Pai-Pai tribesmen.
