This study aimed to determine the Culturagram of Seasonal Agricultural Worker (SAW) families and their children through their daily life processes. In the study, the ethnography method was used to determine the physical and social factors affecting the daily life processes of SAW families and their children and to create a detailed culturagram. When the findings are evaluated in terms of culture, it was determined that the seasonal agricultural workers faced problems in terms of meeting basic needs, such as shelter, health and nutrition in the agricultural areas where the families migrated to. The family structure in such regions was different from the original place of residence, and the families used different languages in the public sphere and at home. The priority of these families was agricultural work because it was their livelihood. The migration of the families and their children from different regions that have different lifestyles also caused discrimination in their social lives.
