What Mexico’s new president means for the country’s Indigenous peoples
Claudia Sheinbaum has already made history as Mexico’s first female president.

Sheinbaum also comes into office with a promise to bolster the rights and recognition for the country’s many Indigenous peoples. Her inauguration included a traditional Indigenous blessing ceremony, something that at least one Catholic Church leader criticized as “witchcraft.”

Join Native America Calling to explore what the Sheinbaum presidency means for Mexico’s Indigenous peoples and what obstacles stand in the way.
