Tutupika Carrillo, defender of indigenous peoples (Crys Benítez/El Occidental)
Despite the fact that most of the indigenous people are embedded in the mountainous municipalities of the state, there are also a significant number that have settled in urban and rural areas, where they also have important deficiencies.
The defender of the original peoples, Tutupika Carrillo, explained that among the needs to be covered away from the highlands is the lack of access to individual and collective rights of the peoples.
An example of the above, is the very heartfelt demand that the institutions of attention to indigenous peoples, be directed by indigenous people, because in this way they can provide a better service, since they even speak the language.

In addition to the aforementioned problems, there is another that worries them much more and that is that little by little they are losing the language, traditions and their cultures, as well as artistic expressions among which is the music and orality, in view of this it is urgent that governments establish actions to counteract the cultural erosion.
To conclude, Tutupika Carrillo added that the 4 ethnic groups living in Nayarit, manifest a degree of displacement of language and other cultural aspects, but this is much greater in the Mexicanero and Tepehuano people for having a small population that does not even reach two thousand people.
