Summary: This paper discusses the experience of indigenous University women who identify themselves as belonging to different ethnicities of Chiapas, Mexico. From a hermeneutic perspective, information is analyzed through interviews, informing the ways in which the structural mechanisms of the society are perceived, characterized by a patriarchal culture and regulated by a neoliberal capitalist economic system. Defining their own experiences as indigenous students. The findings constitute a denouncement of the current systematic violence against the indigenous feminine gender, and shows the students’ ability to resist through academic training, the identity oppression they face for being women and indigenous, questioning through the subordination of other women. This process allows them to tolerate societal oppression and their own culture in which they are victims, trying to see themselves as an alternative, better future.
