Who they are
The Cora, who call themselves Náayeri, are an indigenous people living in the remote mountains of the Sierra del Nayar in western Mexico. Renowned for their strong cultural resistance over the centuries, they maintain solid community customs, deep devotion to their native language, and ceremonial celebrations that blend ancestral traditions with practices inherited from the colonial era.
