Luis A. De Jesus R. from Mexico City, Mexico

I am certain that many in your homeland have no idea what feels like to encounter people like this child. A shame that many of the nation-states in which they abide refuse to acknowledge the positive influence their ancestors furnished to the region. Here in Mexico the indigenous population still speaks many dialects and many others still don't even speak Spanish. There is a contradiction here as their is appreciation for the ancient art and fascination with some of their prehispanic practices, but the majority lack access to basic necessities and have little if no access to the political and economic life of the country.

Her face speaks of so much simplicity and innocence. Well captured.
