The sacred area of Tatei Matiniere (place where our mothers emerge and watch) is a small wetland that includes a series of springs, located on the outskirts of the village of Yoliatl. Around the springs are groups of poplar trees (Populous sp.). Part of the wetland area, including the main sacred spring, has been fenced off with wire to protect the area, and a shrine has been built to leave offerings.
Tatei Matiniere represents one of the main areas of female deities. Tatei Matiniere is the home of Tanana, the Virgin. The group of sites included in this area are all sacred water springs. In Huichol culture, springs are thought to be either male or female. In the Tatei Matiniere area, all of them are female.

The waters of the main spring are considered holy and extremely powerful. Here, the jicareros spread their altar cloths (itari), present their offerings of ground corn (tumari), pray, and sing. They also present the eyes of God of the children (tsikiuri), handmade with colored thread. All offerings are presented to Tatei Matiniere and then left at Nihuetaritsie. Apart from the specific rituals of the pilgrimage, families and individuals visit this site frequently. They come here to collect holy water, leave offerings, and perform ceremonies.
