During 2008 and 2009, we have documented hundreds of hours of traditional rites and ceremonies of the Q'ero in their native context in Peru. As modern life continues to encroach on the Q'ero traditional lifestyle, fewer and fewer new shamans are being trained. Our hope is to preserve these ceremonies in their traditional form for future generations. This material is being cataloged and edited to create an online archive for students, teachers, researchers, and the Qero themselves to teach and inform future generations.
