Ethnographic notes on indigenous youth, digital connection, mobilities and socio-cultural contexts

Abstract

Some situations that indigenous young people experience in relation to information and communication technologies are described, general conditions of connectivity in the villages are exposed, followed by emergent situations related to the youth, and the way in which the internet connections have become a daily connectivity among younger. The data correspond to an investigation about internet connectivity and mobility in indigenous peoples. It is pointed out that the sociocultural contexts where they have their primary experiences offer elements from which they debate and negotiate their referents, but digital technologies make social relations and processes more dynamic. Finally, some notes on indigenous youth from the Sierra Norte de Puebla under these recent conditions of connectivity are indicated.
