Zoque de Chimalapas, Oaxaca. Tamborileros de Tucta, Corridos zapatistas

Description:
En el marco del festejo del descubrimiento de América, a casi 500 años del suceso, el Frente Nacional de Pueblos Indígenas, conformado por 42 organizaciones indias de México, lleva a cabo un evento en la Ciudad de México, en el que representantes de diversas comunidades expresan su solidaridad con la lucha a la que convocó el Consejo Mexicano 500 Años de Resistencia Indígena, Negra y Popular, con el fin de reivindicar los derechos fundamentales que les fueron arrebatados a los indígenas desde tiempos de la colonia, destacando el dominio y la opresión posteriores, efectuada tanto por los estadounidenses como por los japoneses. Algunos campesinos hablan de los problemas que se viven en sus comunidades por la defensa de las tierras o a causa de la destrucción de sus bosques y recursos naturales, derivados de la explotación que se hace en las zonas donde habitan y en donde impera la corrupción de las autoridades. Un asistente comenta que todos los años asisten a la Organización de las Naciones Unidas, ONU, representantes de diversos pueblos indígenas para pelear porque se reconozca su derecho de autonomía y autodeterminación, así como su derecho de educarse en sus propias lenguas. Se emiten vivas y se proporcionan aplausos a personajes destacados del México prehispánico, de la Independencia de México o de la Revolución Mexicana, y enarbolan la dignidad indígena enalteciendo diversos elementos y tradiciones de la cultura mexica. Al final se interpretan algunos corridos, varios de ellos dedicados a Emiliano Zapata y la lucha campesina.
