The assembly of the Indigenous Front of Binational Organizations in Mixteca region of Oaxaca, one of the poorest areas in Mexico, where a large percentage of the indigenous population has left to work in the United States. The FIOB is a political organization of indigenous communities and migrants, with chapters in Mexico and the U.S. It advocates for the rights of migrants, and for the right not to migrate -- for economic development which would enable people to stay home. An indigenous Mixtec band plays at the assembly's conclusion.
