CNI (National Indigenous Congress)

The National Indigenous Congress (CNI) is a collective organization in Mexico that unites various Indigenous communities and peoples to advocate for their rights, sovereignty, and culture. It aims to empower Indigenous voices, promote social justice, and influence government policies that affect their land, resources, and traditions. CNI operates through consensus-based decision-making, emphasizing self-determination and unity among diverse Indigenous groups. It plays a key role in resisting exploitation and asserting the cultural and political rights of Indigenous peoples within the Mexican state.
