RAMIREZ ZAVALA, Ana Luz. The Rural School in the Seri Territory, 1920-1957. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2018, vol.39, n.154, pp.9-36. ISSN 2448-7554.  https://doi.org/10.24901/rehs.v39i154.381.

The Seris are an indigenous group that inhabits the central coast of Sonora, Mexico, identified historically as hunter-gatherers and fishers. They were educated under the rural schools program implemented by the federal government in the 1920s. From a regional perspective, this paper explores the scope of this cultural/educational policy to elucidate the factors that led to its implementation, arguing that the rural education aimed at indigenous peoples was determined through negotiations by intermediaries; in this case, ranchers, teachers, local merchants and members of religious associations who sought to adjust the educational programs to this community’s existing cultural conditions.

Palabras llave : cultural policy; rural school; post-revolution; indigenism; Seris.
