OSEGUERA-MONTIEL, Andrés  and  SCHIEBECK VILLEGAS, Ricardo. Rarámuri Kinship, Mobility, and Marginality in Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua State. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2022, vol.17, e589.  Epub Mar 21, 2023. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2022.v17.589.

A survey-based genealogical method was used to analyze the migratory characteristics of the inhabitants of a Rarámuri community in Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua State in an urban and multicultural context. This method was also used to analyze the role played by parental relationships regarding insertion into the labor market and the configuration of a community or neighborhood. The research, based on the study of kinship relationships between those dwelling in this settlement, demonstrates the marginality of urban life experienced by indigenous people derived from interethnic relationships with Mennonites and chabochi (“Mexican” or mixed-descent people).

Keywords : domestic migration; indigenous people; mixed-descent Mexicans; Mennonites; multiculturality.
