GUERRERO, Gerardo Conde. From Hardly Making a Living by Eating Wild Fruits to Becoming Cattle Ranchers: A Brief Timeline of Makurawe Sedentarization. Tabula Rasa [online]. 2021, n.37, pp.71-94.  Epub 26-Fev-2021. ISSN 1794-2489.  https://doi.org/10.25058/20112742.n37.04.

ftis article aims to respond to the question of how Guarijio society happened to become sedentary. For that purpose, we turned to historical sources to characterize a settling pattern appearing in missionary sources from the 16th century, which was called rancherias by Jesuitic missionaries. ftat system has to do with a unique way of indigenous to use territory. Our fieldwork included in-depth interviews and life stories with Guarijio people, who reported how they used the environment and natural resources in an itinerant way and how they lived as farmworkers in the region. We end by pointing out that during the last forty years, due to ejido or common land bestowing-, Guarijío people have been forced to sedentarize at the behest of Mexican government.
