| Summary: | While information exists on the process
of indigenous migration to urban centers, there is very
little systematic data on the current situation of urban
indigenous populations in Mexico. This study analyzes the
situation of five indigenous ethnic groups in three urban
centers of Mexico: (a) the Mazahuas, Otomis, and Triquis in
Mexico City; (b) the Mayas in Cancun; and (c) the Zapotecos
in Coatzacoalcos. The study collected qualitative and
quantitative data on indigenous migrant households selected
from the five ethnic groups. This study used ethnographic
field work to identify the interview sample within
municipalities in the three cities based on global census
data for municipalities and delegations. A total sample of
869 households was selected and socio-economic information
collected on 4,291 household members. Finally, focus groups
(defined by gender and age) were identified and interviewed
using a questionnaire designed with the assistance of
neighborhood leaders. This report summarizes the initial
findings from analysis of the data collected from these
various research instruments. |
