In the late 19th cent. under the Mexican dictator Porfirio D’az they were ruthlessly persecuted and many were deported to plantations at Yucat‡n and Quintana Roo, over 2,000 mi (3,200 km) away. Some escaped and returned on foot to Sonora. The Mexican government attempted to control resistance by further resettlement, and many Yaqui emigrated to Arizona to escape subjugation. Later, efforts were made to improve their lot.
