Abstract
The author considers the current situation of religious groups among the Indian populations of the southern Mexican state of Chiapas. Among the religions present in the Indian communities, one notes, as well as Catholicism and evangelical Protestantism, the persistence of traditional Amerindian religions. Information from the 1990 Mexican official census allows one to establish the distribution of these religions in specific Indian localities. Finally, religious conflict in the midst of the municipalities is evaluated in the context of human rights, both those of Indian communities as a people, and those of religious dissidents as individual believers.
