Resumo(s)
This article aims to discuss the advances and challenges related to the fulfillment of
the rights of Mexican indigenous children, especially during their adolescent years
(ages 12-18). The article has two main sections. First, we review a selection of
qualitative and statistical literature that provides a broad overview of the rights of
indigenous youth in Mexico and of issues pertaining to their identities and living
conditions. Secondly, we present a synopsis of the results of a collaborative research
project recently undertaken in thirteen indigenous communities located in different
regions of Mexico, and one in the US. The results of the study shed light on the varied
circumstances of youth living in diverse rural and urban socio-economic contexts.
Drawing upon the study’s findings, we discuss three critical aspects of indigenous
youth rights: growing indigenous youth awareness of their rights; the evolving and
differentiated identities of indigenous adolescents; and the connection between
indigenous youth identity and rights.
