What is the clothing of the Yaquis?

Outfit
Men wear long-sleeved checkered shirts and a Texas-style
hat decorated with ribbons and feathers, denim pants, and
huaraches woven from fine leather.
As for the women, they wear long skirts and embroidered
shirts in bright and cheerful colors such as red, yellow,
blue, orange and pink. They wear huaraches, wear their
hair braided and sometimes wear palm hats decorated with
colored ribbons.
Men's clothing was previously peasant style blanket, today
the majority opt for a cowboy style and the minority for
casual. It is common, however, to use a cloth embroidered
with flowers that is worn around the neck or on the wrists.
The usual hat is northern Mexican style.

Meal
Their main dish is wakabaki, a broth of beef ribs with
chickpeas, potatoes, cabbages, pumpkins and carrots,
some also add corn on the cob, chili and spices to improve
its flavor.
Among their variety of foods are tamales, tortillas, atoles
and pozoles whose main ingredient is corn, although they
also prepare garambullo, atole, a plant native to the region.
The Yaqui diet has similar characteristics to those of the
Sonoran diet; for example, the presence of beans, wheat
flour tortillas and corn tortillas, basic preparations that are
important sources of energy (fats, carbohydrates and
proteins), iron and dietary fiber.
