In the coming days, the municipal government of Rosarito will hand-deliver 70 birth certificates to members of the Kumiai Indigenous community, most of whom live in the areas of San José de la Zorra and Primo Tapia.

This was confirmed by Alejandrina González, head of the Office for Indigenous Community Affairs in the local government. She explained that the office also addresses the needs of other Indigenous migrants living in the municipality.

“The community’s needs are diverse, but one of the most basic is having their birth certificates and other essential documents required to start any type of business or activity. That’s part of what we do,” González said in an interview.

She noted that her office is working in coordination with various government agencies and Indigenous councilmember Fidel Mendoza to bring additional support to Indigenous families in the region.

“As our mayor, Rocío Adame, has emphasized, celebrating the cultural and ethnic richness of Rosarito is key. It’s not only a matter of justice but also something we can proudly showcase to visitors,” she added.

One of the initiatives currently underway is the organization of a major artisan market, featuring crafts, food, and handmade products created by members of Indigenous communities. The event will coincide with the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples this August.
