Huave people

Huave people

The Huave are an indigenous people of Mexico. They have inhabited the Valley of Oaxaca for more than 3000 years, possibly preceding the Zapotec people in settling the area. Today they inhabit several villages on the sandspits of the Pacific Ocean and trade marine products with inland neighbors. In 1973, they numbered no more than 5,000. Their language is called Huave.
