BACKGROUND
The struggle for indigenous rights in Mexico is more than 500 years old. The most important recent manifestation in this struggle is the Zapatista uprising, which began on January 1, 1994, the same day that NAFTA went into effect. The Zapatistas raised a new level of consciousness among indigenous communities throughout Mexico with their call for autonomy and indigenous rights. The Zapatistas gave birth to the National Indigenous Congress, which has developed into an important national political space.
Today there are between 12 and 28 million indigenous in Mexico (depending on who is doing the counting and whether or not city-dwellers or other migrants are considered "indigenous"). Struggles for indigenous rights are particularly active in the southern states of Chiapas, Oaxaca and Guerrero.

Once again thanks for your interest and thanks for making this happen.
