"Recognition of Mexico's enormous cultural wealth is also a challenge to Mexican's of today. Preservation of our heritage and identity has been an essential task to which Mexicans have contributed throughout the nation's history. The existence of a plural, multilingual and multiethnic world is the origin and strength of a people that knows itself to be distinct in the concert of nations. 'The Huastec and Totonac World' is part of that diverstiy and its manifestations are to this day a clear example of imagination and creativity, as well as a buttress to our nation's present and future."
