Hi Jacquie,

I saw your defense of using the term indigenous elsewhere (May 28th a learned group of people from all over the world...) but it still bugged me and many others. Driving around Leon today with my mind wandering the thought came to me - was there a quasi-homophone at large?

English Indigenous Spanish Ind?gena

English Indigent Spanish Indigente
and now its easy to see how the term Indigente (not Ind?gena) applies to the Rural Poor especially in the state of Guanajuato which has the lowest percentage of ind?gena of any Mexican state:
===================
The Comisi?n Nacional para el Desarrollo de los Pueblos Ind?genas (CDI) "... considera poblaci?n ind?gena (PI) a todas las personas que forman parte de un hogar ind?gena, donde el jefe(a) del hogar, su c?nyuge y/o alguno de los ascendientes (madre o padre, madrastra o padrastro, abuelo(a), bisabuelo(a), tatarabuelo(a), suegro(a)) declaro ser hablante de lengua ind?gena. Adem?s, tambi?n incluye a personas que declararon hablar alguna lengua ind?gena y que no forman parte de estos hogares.
==
En general se reconoce la existencia de las regiones ind?genas, ligado a la distribuci?n espacial de los pueblos ind?genas identificados por las lenguas y el reconocimiento generalizado de los diferentes pueblos con elementos distintivos, como son Los Altos de Chiapas, la Sierra Tarahumara, las Mixtecas, el Gran Nayar o las Huastecas, entre otras.

INEGI 2005 Population of the state of Guanajuato 4.8 million Indigenous population 10,347
