The aim of this report is to call attention to a program of ethno­cide which is being applied to ethnic minorities in Mexico as a part of a policy of capitalist development being carried out by the Mexi­can government through regional development agencies. It can be shown that ethnocidal policies of these agencies have an intimate relation­ship with the broad economic and political goals of the federal govern­ment.
