The interactions between Mexicans and Native Americans varied widely, influenced by historical context and region. Following the Spanish conquest in the early 16th century, many Native American populations faced violence, land dispossession, and forced labor under colonial rule. In the post-independence period, Mexican policies toward indigenous peoples ranged from attempts at integration to marginalization, with some indigenous groups facing discrimination and loss of cultural identity. Overall, the relationship has been complex, marked by both conflict and efforts at coexistence.
