A sleeping tent in a camp set up by migrant indigenous workers from the Mexican state of Oaxaca, who live under tarps next to a field of wine grapes. The workers are Chatinos, and use their cultural practices and family ties to support each other while looking for farm work in Sonoma County, one of the wealthiest wine-producing areas of the US.
