There is no doubt that such projects will be more successful when led by members of the same indigenous peoples. ; Resumen: La traducción del himno nacional mexicano a las lenguas indígenas funge como una plataforma donde ocurren complejas intersecciones entre la educación, la expresión de la identidad indígena y el nacionalismo mexicano, generando un significado indicial que es objeto de disputa y negociación en las comunidades indígenas.
