Abstract

This article, which is a byproduct of a broader research, is an
approach at how the actions of young people, affected by migration or by urbanization, are producing tension and challenges in the community life and their traditional cultural systems and political
organization. As a group in the population, they have been
excluded because the notion of young citizens, in some indigenous
communities that are ruled by the system of customs and practices,
is still fiction; this situation is translating into the presence and
rise of violent juvenile gangs, teen pregnancies, alcoholism and
drug addiction.
