Mel Gibson recently arrived in Los Tuxtlas (fall 2005) to film a movie highlighting the Mayas. Probably the
only Maya that ever set foot in Los Tuxtlas, was a Maya that got lost on his way to elsewhere.
Instead Gibson should have given thought to the Popolucas, one of the few remaining peoples that have
graced the Tuxtlas for thousands of years.
There are solid indications that the Popolucas are remnants of the Olmecs, which would make them the
oldest civililized peoples in the American hemisphere. They desperately need a little credit. They are also
one of the most marginalized indigenous groups in all of Mexico.
