Mexico's Native Tongues Struggle to Stay Alive (CGTN America)
Members of Mexico's indigenous communities took to the streets of the capital on Tuesday to celebrate their heritage and demand more rights.
Their Mexico City march marked the United Nation's Day of the World Indigenous Peoples.
A spokesman for the march said 18 indigenous communities took part in the celebration.
They wore traditional clothing as they marched down Reforma Avenue in the city's center.

Among those taking part were indigenous groups from the south-western state of Oaxaca such as Triqui, Mazatec and Zapotec, as well as groups from southern Chiapas state, such as the Tzetal.
Spokesman Pascual de Jesús said the idea behind the parade was to give visibility to the many indigenous people living in the capital and to combat discrimination.
