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.
