Introduction / History

Some of the Chicahuaxtla Triqui work on farms for nine hour shifts earning six dollars a day. Those who have relocated to Baja California were not welcome for two reasons. They didn't speak Spanish, and they have a reputation for violence. Many of the perpetrators of violence come from one of the Triqui subgroups. Some of them are in the United States.

What Are Their Lives Like?

In the United States, the Chicahuaxtla Triquis socialize mainly with others from Mexico, both indigeous and Latino. In general, they become more like Spanish speaking Mexicans when they live outside their country. Sometimes their families suffer when the father is gone for an extended time.

What Are Their Beliefs?

The Chicahuaxtla Triqui are officially almost entirely Christian. Yet the teachings of the Bible have not affected the younger generation.

What Are Their Needs?

The Triquis need a way to earn an honest living.

Prayer Items
