The aim of this article is to analyze and recognize the indigenous population of the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, from a sociodemographic perspective, using data from the 2020 Census of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) of Mexico. The results indicate that, although Guanajuato has been considered a federative entity with a homogeneous population, this perception is only partially correct. To fully understand the multiculturalism of Guanajuato, it is necessary to adopt a broader perspective that better reflects the presence of indigenous peoples. This not only allows us to value the ethnic and cultural richness of the state, but also to understand how indigenous peoples access social welfare. It is concluded that the amount of recognized indigenous population, its dispersed geographic concentration and the economic growth of Guanajuato have contributed to the invisibility of this population. Therefore, it is necessary to increase research on this topic.
