Triqui Migrations and Diaspora

It is said that when an individual is not making the income that is desired from craft work, they migrate to other areas of Mexico to find jobs. The usually migrate to bigger cities like Sonora y Sinaloa and to the United States, such as California, where they can work for large agricultural companies. The migration to the states would be a long process because they are near the southern part of Mexico. So a decision to migrate would have to be a big choice for the people of the Triqui culture. they would be leaving behind family members and community members in search for higher pay. Also, if an individual found a job with high wages, that individual has been known to send money home to his family. This support shows how important family is to the Triqui people.
