The article focuses on an empirical study of a minority ethnic group from the state of Hidalgo, Mexico-the Tepehuas from Huethuetla and Barrio Aztlán. The objective of the study was to reflect on their social reality, focusing on aspects such as cosmovision, funeral rituals, and kinship. Their local and ethnic identity is explored. The work discusses discourse and associated practices in the analysis of indigenous communities with the aim of reflecting on the reality and production of those communities. The questions about what being Tepehua means and what being indigenous means are discussed.
