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. El objetivo del presente artículo es proponer una discusión sobre el papel de la multiculturalidad y sus implicaciones dentro del Estado nación mexicano desde la metodología del Derecho, dada la carencia de las herramientas jurídicas e institucionales para encausar el creciente reto de una sociedad multiétnica que aspira a una convivencia pacífica; donde los pueblos indígenas de México sostienen viejas demandas sobre el cumplimiento y respeto de sus derechos fundamentales, sustentadas ahora en el derecho y en la jurisprudencia internacionales. El análisis propuesto arroja que a pesar de las reformas constitucionales de 2001 y de 2011, es necesario ajustar el marco jurídico interno, introducir el pluralismo jurídico y la interculturalidad en la agenda pública y el espacio institucional. El caso de la tribu yaqui es paradigmático porque enarbola una lucha legal y pacífica por sus derechos fundamentales contra el despojo de sus territorios ancestrales y sus recursos naturales.
