Abstract

This article attempts to explain the concept of freedom among the Tarahumaras Indians of Mexico from their own perspective. It summarizes the ways in which freedom was lost, rescued, acquired and recovered from the period covered during the Mexican colonization until today. Then, based on the results of field research with Tarahumaras who migrated to Cuauhtémoc city in Chihuahua, it displays a current assessment of these freedoms. It also proposes perspectives and solutions to sociologists, anthropologists, researchers and members of this ethnic group. In addition, it presents the consequences of schooling, social progress and technology, as well as the points of view of anthropologists regarding mexicanization. Finally, to make a contrast of the Tarahumara situation, it presents the case of migration to Juarez city.
