Each year during the dry season Huichol families from the Sierra Madre in Nayarit leave their communities to work as day labourers growing, cutting and harvesting tobacco on the northern coast of the state, in Mexico. Most travel with their entire family — pregnant women, children and newborns included — and working the tobacco fields means constant contact with pesticides and fertilisers, a risk that affects every worker and the indigenous families most of all.
