  abstract = {{T}he 2000 census of the {M}exican population clearly marks a turning point in the history of statistical identification of the country's indigenous population. {A}fter categorization by race or customs related to dress, food, etc. was abolished in 1895, the census of indigenous {M}exicans was exclusively based on a linguistic criterion throughout the entire twentieth century. {I}n 2000, the {N}ational {I}nstitute of {S}tatistics and {G}eography introduced a second criterion with a question for self-reporting ethnicity asked to every individual age five and older. {T}his innovation creates a significant gap between the estimated sizes of the indigenous population based on the two criteria just when, after the neo-{Z}apatista uprising, the political and social issues related to the {I}ndian question and measuring discrimination have increased, as in most {L}atin {A}merican countries ({B}arbary and {U}rrea 2004; {B}arbary (ed.) 2006; {G}ros 1998; {W}ade 1997). {T}his paper will argue in favour of an approach comparing several possible statistical definitions that combine individual and collective "indigenous identity" using census information. {T}he true significance of this categorization is disclosed by a multivariate analysis of demographic and socio-economic profiles of the various segments of the country's population and particularly in highlighting the high heterogeneity of the indigenous universe},
