ABSTRACT

The central subject is the participation of the indigenous mexican migrants in the host communities. I concentrate the attention in mixtec participation in the city of Arvin, California, where whole families have been settlement from the decade of the 90’s. I use the accomplishment of the Mixteco Festival whose purpose is to celebrate to San Juan Bautista, patrono from their homeland in Oaxaca. The festival is carried out in the city of Arvin since 2001, counts on the participation and the support of instances of the local government, nongovernmental organizations, mass media, organizations of migrant and others. At present it agglutinates to the mixtec community but also to mexican mestizos and anglo population that every year meet to be present at one of the most important festivals of the city. The description of the Festival allows to observe the forms which the mixtecos are gotten up to the host society without this implies necessarily, lost their culture characteristic. At the same time, it lets see how migrants maintaining strong ties with his community of origin, and participate in the city which now they live and where his children and grandsons born.
