The Mazahua are an Indigenous people mainly associated with the State of Mexico and Michoacan. The Mazahua language and identity remain important in many communities, especially in central Mexico.

For people learning about Mexico, the Mazahua show that Indigenous communities are not only found in the south; they are also part of central Mexico, near some of the country’s largest urban and political centers. Their presence is a reminder that Indigenous identity, language, and tradition continue alongside modern Mexican life.
