In Otomí, ‘otho’ means with nothing and ‘bui’ means life, the combination of these two words is interpreted as ‘not belonging anywhere’, ‘homeless’ or ‘nomadic people’. The word refers to the fifth largest indigenous people in Mexico. San Marcos Tlazalpan is a half otomí-mestiza indigenous community of the State of Mexico where the living conditions had forced the residents to migrate in order to survive.
