The Mixteca region of Oaxaca is one of the poorest areas in Mexico. Indigenous
Mixtec, Triqui and other groups from this region now make up a large percentage
of the migrants who have left to work in the United States. But many people
try to stay on the land and farm, despite the difficulty. A streetseller
sells bottles of cologne on Juxtlahuaca's market day.
