[Notes]
"The Indians of Mexico were conquered by Spaniards in the 16th century and have now been living and mixing with these 'alien’ people for over 400 years. Because they originally existed in very large numbers, they were not submerged and destroyed as were many of the Indian tribes of the United States, and Indian blood exists in large proportions in the present Mexican population. Indian culture, on the other hand, has largely disappeared..."
