Village Away from Home

Imagine what would happen if you picked up a village in rural Mexico and transplanted it in Seattle's suburbs. Something similar is underway in South Seattle ? a village within the city is emerging. The Seattle area has recently become a top destination for the indigenous Purepecha people from the rural hill-towns of central Mexico. Their native language, culture and traditional lifestyle are vanishing in parts of Mexico, but reappearing here. Our five-part series, A Village Away From Home, traces this migration trend from the Mexican sierra to Seattle's fast-paced suburbs. Reported by Liz Jones, edited by Rachel Anne Goodman.
