Compare and contrast the impact of internal migration on indigenous peoples in two countries of the Americas.

The question requires that candidates give an account of the similarities and differences of the impact of internal migration on indigenous peoples with reference to two cases. Candidates may compare and contrast the impact of migration on the family structure, considering those cases where the entire family migrated or only some of their members. Candidates may also consider the changes migration caused in traditional roles within the community, like in the case of local leaders and women. Candidates may also compare and contrast different cases where migration was due to the loss of territory, and/or the need to access the job market. In the last case, candidates may refer to the impact the new jobs had on indigenous communities and the need to develop new skills. Candidates may also address the cultural impact of migration on indigenous communities regarding the language, customs and religion, as well as the actions taken to resist the migration, the loss of their lands, and the assimilation of new cultural patterns. Both similarities and differences must be clearly indicated, but there does not need to be an equal number of each.

The question required that candidates give an account of the similarities and differences of the impact of internal migration on indigenous peoples with reference to two cases. It was addressed by few candidates with poor results: largely irrelevant responses that did not focus on question demands.
