By ensuring that their beliefs are not above the laws, the Autonomous Council of Native Peoples and Neighborhoods (CAPIBO), is separated from the act of sacrifice in it ritual held this day, in the facilities of the Senate of the Republic and organized by the senator of Morena, Adolfo Gomez.
“We make it known that we have performed dances and have offered seeds to our mother earth. This has been our respectful way throughout the country, therefore we demand respect from those who performed this ceremony, it was carried out without authorization in our territory,” said CAPYBO, in a statement signed by Adriana Fabjaké Poblano Ramos, Presidential Councilor.

The Council, which is a body of representation and participation that supports the recognition of the ancestral identity of the Native Peoples and combats the impact of colonization on their lands and territories, clarified that its commitment “is to the construction of a society in PEACE and SAFE, where no belief, ideology, belonging or practice is above others different from ours”
They pointed out that, in accordance with the second constitutional article that reads: “The right of indigenous peoples to self-determination will be exercised in a constitutional framework of autonomy that ensures national unity,” sacrificial acts in public spaces that are not sacred or consecrated for the development of our cultural and ancestral identity practices contravenes the constitutional pact to maintain unity.

“We consider fundamental the importance of observing the law as the foundation of the social pact. While it is true that we have been dispossessed, invaded and made invisible, breaking the laws is not the path we have chosen; on the contrary, we have worked decisively and for many generations to be recognized and respected by the rest of society and this has implied advances and setbacks in Mexican laws’ they refer in a statement.
They clarified that, like many other representations of towns and communities, they are members of the Pact for Anahuac, “but this event was not agreed upon by the assembly (tlahtokan) that is why we distance ourselves from those who have organized and executed that practice, which is not part of nor of our worldview, traditions, uses and customs or current ritual practices.”
