Cosmogony and rights of Rarámuri community in the face of forced migration

Luis Gerardo Ortiz Corona

Abstract

The article addresses Rarámuri cosmogony and the causes of forced migration within this community. It is a descriptive essay that integrates ius‐historical, documentary, and phenomenological techniques. The main arguments revolve around the threat posed by the destruction of the Rarámuri traditions and natural environment, which affects their sense of belonging and their right to self‐determination. These factors, exacerbated by violence and forced displacement, result in the migration of the communities to nonindigenous territories. The research highlights the need to recognize and protect the rights of this community to prevent their cultural and territorial disappearance.
