In 1901, President Porfirio Diaz of Mexico began his “extermination and deportation” policy of Indians resisting his government. Between 1902 and 1908, between 8,000 and 15,000 Yaquis, out of an estimated population of 30,000, were internally deported by train, as slaves, to the henequen plantations in the Yucatan or to the sugar cane plantations in Oaxaca. Many died in captivity, either by killing themselves or by foul treatment. Many were killed for sport.

The Yaqui were the main target for deportation but Opata, Pimas and Mayos were also removed.
