La Voz De M.A.Y.O: TATA RAMBO is based on theoral history of Ramon Jaurigue, an orphan and WWII veteran who co-founded theMexican, American, Yaqui, and Others (M.A.Y.O.) organization, which successfullylobbied the Tucson City Council to improve living and working conditions formembers of the Pascua Yaqui tribe. Thanks to this period of activism, the Yaquiswere federally recognized as one of the remaining Native American tribes.Meanwhile Ramon's home life suffered as his focus was pulled from family towider community, and from domesticity to the adrenaline of thecampaign.
