    Indigenous Approaches to Conflict: From Conquest to COVID-19
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021) Callahan, Courtney
    With more than 25.7 million people that identify as indigenous, Mexico has the largest indigenous population on the American continent (Banco Mundial 2020). Seventy-eight indigenous groups with eighty-nine languages are officially recognized in Mexico (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía). Despite the enormous diversity that exists between the groups’ cultural behaviors, rituals, and languages, many basic similarities exist among their fundamental belief system. Since the Spanish conquest of Mexico, indigenous groups have faced many unique challenges and disadvantages. For many years, indigenous groups have fought to preserve their culture and way of life. With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, indigenous groups have yet again faced a life-threatening invader. The indigenous approach to conflict is holistic and rooted in a complex belief system. It is this belief system that has helped them persevere from conquest to COVID-19.
