Information Of The Zapotec Indian Maisie G. The Spanish name "Zapoteco" stems from the Nahuatl name for the Zapotee, "Tsapotecatl," which, in turn, was derived from the name of a fruit, the zapote, that was common in the region. The Zapotee are the largest indigenous group in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. The Zapotee are primarily town-dwelling peasant farmers. In the central valley, for instance, communities are compact and most villages have fewer than 5,000 inhabitants. The mountain Zapotee also live in compact settlements, although in the southern sierra there are some scattered ranches. In the isthmus, in addition to rural villages, there are two urban centers that are primarily Zapotee in composition—Juchitán and Tehuantepe.

More Interesting Facts Maisie Gutierrez How do the zapotec Indians of Mexico's values, traditions, and beliefs relate to you? Well, I am not related to anything except the Mexican blood of my parents. I have Mexican blood mixed with the Texas blood. What are some similarities ( you can relate to ) and differences( you can not ) We have some similarities with Mexico, but not with the Zapotec Indians. We celebrate a tradition where our family and friends come and we all eat sweet bread called the King bread. The king bread is sweet with candy on it and inside of it there is a plastic baby. Who ever finds it on or in their bread they’ll have to make a party for everyone.
