14 Santa Maria Mixtecos and Zapotecos at Work
Indigenous Mixtec and Zapotec farm workers from Oaxaca and Guerrero pick strawberries in the crew of foreman Eugenio Cardenas of the Central Coast company. Workers bring the strawberries they've picked to the checker, who inspects the berries and then punches a ticket that keeps track of the number of boxes the worker has picked.
