Abstract

The internal migration of indigenous families in Mexico is due above all to the precarious economic situation in their places of origin. Such is the case of the families that migrated from San Agustín Oapan, Guerrero to the city of Morelia, where they have formed a civil association, dedicated to the production and sale of crafts. The objective of this text is to describe the main experiences associated with the migration process experienced by the first families that settled in Morelia. To achieve this, qualitative research focused on doubly reflexive ethnography was carried out. Among the main challenges they faced, the following stand out: language, discrimination, food, fear of the unknown; While the resources that allowed them to face such challenges were: communality, their culture and resilient attitude. It is concluded that, despite the difficulties, the quality of life of the families improved and they remain linked to their original people.
