Mexican indigenous groups

Mexican indigenous groups are diverse communities with rich cultural traditions, languages, and histories predating European colonization. Major groups include the Nahua, Maya, Mixtec, and Zapotec, each with unique customs, social structures, and spiritual beliefs. Indigenous peoples often maintain their languages and practices while facing challenges such as marginalization and economic inequality. Today, they actively work to preserve their heritage and advocate for their rights, contributing significantly to Mexico's cultural landscape. Their resilience and cultural richness enhance the nation’s identity and highlight the importance of respecting and promoting indigenous rights and traditions.
