| Resumo: | Natividad is a municipality in the Sierra Norte de Oaxaca that emerged and developed around the mining of gold and silver. Therefore, the objective of the article is to show the diversification of work activities aimed at obtaining a livelihood in a mining community located in the mountains. To achieve the objective, two life experiences of people who live in Natividad and who, at some point in their life, had a working relationship with the mining company are presented.
