Ethnic Groups of Mexico

More about the book

"In pre-Hispanic times various ethnic groups lived on the territory that is now Mexico. Later, many of these decreased in numbers and others died out. Today, their descendants make up more than fifty indigenous peoples identified basically by the languages they speak. This guide contains descriptions and attractive photographs of fifteen representative groups who, with their customs, dress, fiestas, handicrafts, dances and traditions, contribute to the rich and varied cultural mosaic of Mexico" -- Backcover.
