I chose to do my research project on the treatment of indeginous people in mexico. The history between white mexicans and indeginous people is not a good one. Milkions of indeginous people are considered on the poor level of society in the states of mexico. After being dominated in the spaniard arrival in the 16th century..indeginous people have had thier lands destroyed or taken away. they struggle to make new rights and be heard from a political point of view. They were denied land harshly and were forced to live in small communites and are scattered throughout the 31 states of mexico.
In my paper i will be talking about how their lands were treated after being taken over and thier lifestyles in the past and the present. I will show how racism played a huge role towards the destruction of thier main home lands and the forced position of poverty they were harsly put into.

I think you're in a good position. I would try also going to the library and check out what books they have on them. It's always a big topic so I'm sure you will find a lot. Good luck =)
Your topic is pretty good. The main focus on this topic is about racism and polluting their landfull. Good luck on your research paper!
Hey! I think Your topic is great. but I hope you looked around to find more sources because I know I have a big problem with that. besides your topic is very interesting and gets right to the point. Have fun writing it !!!!:)
It would be interesting to know about the rights that indeginous people have today in the modern world, while still trying to keep their culture and liberalism.
