The Peoples of Mexico:

Mexico is a country of colour, diversity, grand differences in geography, climate and perspective.

The same is true of her people. From the mysterious origins and fates of her earliest inhabitants; the current indigenous peoples; to the history and influence of immigrants from Spain and other areas of the world, Mexico has developed an intricate and fascinating society.

Through these pages, Mexico Connect will enable understanding and insight into North America's most dynamic society.
