* The president of DIF Vallarta said that thanks to the support of Vallarta's Mayor, it has been possible to provide 570 donations to people from these ethnic groups and provide an indigenous display in the hallways of the Presidency

As part of the International Day of Indigenous Peoples, the City Hall of Puerto Vallarta through the System for Integral Family Development (DIF) developed the Indigenous Festival, where the authorities recognized the value represented by these groups in society.

In this context, the president of DIF Vallarta, Magaly Fregoso Ortiz, congratulated the members of the different ethnic groups for proudly carrying their costumes which represent the cultural wealth of Mexico.

The official confirmed that as authorities they have the commitment of ensuring their rights and of providing what they need so that they can move forward with their families.

Through the direction of Social Development, the donations are channeled to indigenous groups and work is done closely in coordination with the Indigenous Groups of DIF Vallarta.

The president of DIF Vallarta said that thanks to the support of Mayor Ramon Guerrero Martinez, it has been possible to offer visitors three indigenous exhibitions in the hallways of the Presidency and 570 donations have been provided to people of these ethnic groups, such as medicine, transportation help, legal advice, commercial permits, among others.

For his part, the councilor of the Tourism Commission, Agustin Alvarez Valdivia, on behalf of Mayor Ramon Guerrero, recognized the role of these groups in a tourist destination like Puerto Vallarta. He also reiterated the support for the members of the ethnic groups that reside in this destination to continue providing them with the support they need.

In a timely manner and on behalf of the ethnic groups, Gisela Carrillo Carrillo thanked the support received from the authorities.

Notably, during August 8th and 9th, the under-management of the Vallarta DIF Program organized a calendar of events that is open to the public, as well as two lectures, a culinary exhibition, handicraft workshops, among other activities.

Currently in the municipality reside eleven indigenous groups with approximately 3 thousand 500 inhabitants in between Nahuatl, Otomi, Triqui, Wixarica, Tzotzil, Mixtec, Zapotec, Mazahua, Purepecha, Mays, among others, from states like Guerrero, Queretaro, Oaxaca, Chiapas, State of Mexico, Michoacán, Jalisco, Sonora and San Luis Potosi.
