Red de Pueblos Trasnacionales (the Transnational Peoples Network) is a Bronx-based organization that brings together Indigenous and rural immigrants from Mexico and Central America in New York City. The organization facilitates reunions between newly arrived immigrants and their families. The family reunions coincide with NewYorkTlan, an annual cultural festival celebrating Indigenous traditions. Here, a story of Don Alonso Escamilla and his first weekend in New York with his family.
