National Indigenous Congress (Congreso Nacional Indígena)

The National Indigenous Congress (Congreso Nacional Indígena) is a Mexican organization formed in 2015 that unites Indigenous peoples and communities to defend their rights, land, and culture. It operates as an autonomous body outside government control, aiming to amplify Indigenous voices and promote their social, political, and ecological interests. The Congress facilitates collective decision-making and advocates for Indigenous sovereignty, often challenging policies that threaten their traditions and territories. It reflects a broader movement for Indigenous self-determination and cultural preservation within Mexico's diverse Indigenous populations.
