I'm a lawyer in the state of Chihuahua, most native americans and mennonites speak spanish up to some level, and they will only be assigned a translator if they ask for one or if the judge clearly sees that he doesn't understand spanish, the problem with native americans is that they don't understand the law, since they have their own tarahumara law, when they move to the cities like Chihuahua, Cuauhtemoc or Ciudad Juarez they go on with their own set of moral and legal rules to guide them in their daily lives, and then when they're detained for commiting a crime they deny it, for example the person that was being tried for attempted murder, he thought it was fine since the other person didn't die, and even in the tarahumara territories, when a tarahumara is guilty of killing another tarahumara the only punishment is that he give part of his income to the family of the deceased, and they settle their own problems in their own way, so they move to a city commit a crime and then are sent to jail they're overwhelmed by it.

There is a lot of racism in Mexico, the MESTIZO majority ridicule Native People, Blacks, Asians.
Mestizos and White Hispanics pride a romantic identity of being native, but detest the actual native people.

Just another case of European occupation. They went to new lands and forced their own culture, and then have the audacity to ask other people to integrate in their society.

Easy to forget that the Mexican we see in the US are marginalized in their own country and Mexicans of European descent are running the place.
