There is now a wave that is trying to keep the traditions and culture that make Mexico such a culture-rich country, but we are years away from seeing some results. Some of the initiatives we are seeing are teaching of the indigenous languages in elementary schools in some regions in Mexico such as Mayan in the Yucatan Peninsula.
