| Summary: | The objective of this article is to propose a discussion on the role of multiculturalism and its implications within the Mexican nation-state from the methodology of legal studies, given the lack of legal and institutional tools to address the growing challenge of a multi ethnic society that aspires to a peaceful coexistence; where the indigenous peoples of Mexico uphold old demands on compliance with and respect for their Fundamental Rights, now based on international law and jurisprudence. The proposed analysis shows that despite the constitutional reforms of 2001 and 2011, it is necessary to introduce major legal reforms, including pluralism and interculturality in the public agenda and institutional space. The case of the Yaqui tribe is paradigmatic because they are waging a legal and peaceful struggle for their fundamental rights against the dispossession of their ancestral territories and its natural resources. |
