The isolation of Chiapas from centers of power, along with the strong internal divisions in the intendencia caused a political crisis after the royal government collapsed in Mexico City in 1821, ending the <a href="/wiki/Mexican_War_of_Independence" title="Mexican War of Independence">Mexican War of Independence</a>.<a href="#cite_note-enchis-16">[15]</a> During this war, a group of influential Chiapas merchants and ranchers sought the establishment of the Free State of Chiapas. This group became known as the La Familia Chiapaneca. However, this alliance did not last with the lowlands preferring inclusion among the new republics of <a href="/wiki/Central_America" title="Central America">Central America</a> and the highlands annexation to Mexico.<a href="#cite_note-higgens81-26">[25]</a> In 1821, a number of cities in Chiapas, starting in Comitán, declared the state's separation from the Spanish empire. In 1823, Guatemala became part of the <a href="/wiki/United_Provinces_of_Central_America" class="mw-redirect" title="United Provinces of Central America">United Provinces of Central America</a>, which united to form a federal republic that would last from 1823 to 1839. With the exception of the pro-Mexican Ciudad Real (San Cristóbal) and some others, many Chiapanecan towns and villages favored a Chiapas independent of Mexico and some favored unification with Guatemala. Elites in highland cities pushed for incorporation into Mexico.<a href="#cite_note-enchis-16">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-hisschmal-21">[20]</a> In 1822, then-Emperor <a href="/wiki/Agust%C3%ADn_de_Iturbide" title="Agustín de Iturbide">Agustín de Iturbide</a> decreed that Chiapas was part of Mexico. In 1823, the Junta General de Gobierno was held and Chiapas declared independence again.<a href="#cite_note-enchis-16">[15]</a> In July 1824, the Soconusco District of southwestern Chiapas split off from Chiapas, announcing that it would join the Central American Federation.<a href="#cite_note-hisschmal-21">[20]</a> In September of the same year, a referendum was held on whether the intendencia would join Central America or Mexico, with many of the elite endorsing union with Mexico. This referendum ended in favor of incorporation with Mexico (allegedly through manipulation of the elite in the highlands), but the <a href="/wiki/Soconusco" title="Soconusco">Soconusco</a> region maintained a neutral status until 1842, when Oaxacans under General <a href="/wiki/Antonio_L%C3%B3pez_de_Santa_Anna" title="Antonio López de Santa Anna">Antonio López de Santa Anna</a> occupied the area, and declared it reincorporated into Mexico.

Ciudad Real was renamed San Cristóbal de las Casas in 1828.<a href="#cite_note-rincones35-17">[16]</a> In the decades after the official end of the war, the provinces of Chiapas and Soconusco unified, with power concentrated in San Cristóbal de las Casas. The state's society evolved into three distinct spheres: indigenous peoples, mestizos from the farms and haciendas and the Spanish colonial cities. Most of the political struggles were between the last two groups especially over who would control the indigenous labor force. Economically, the state lost one of its main crops, indigo, to synthetic dyes. There was a small experiment with democracy in the form of "open city councils" but it was short-lived because voting was heavily rigged.<a href="#cite_note-enchis-16">[15]</a> The Universidad Pontificia y Literaria de Chiapas was founded in 1826, with Mexico's second teacher's college founded in the state in 1828.<a href="#cite_note-enchis-16">[15]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Era_of_the_Liberal_Reform">Era of the Liberal Reform</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chiapas&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Era of the Liberal Reform">edit</a>]</div> With the ouster of conservative <a href="/wiki/Antonio_L%C3%B3pez_de_Santa_Anna" title="Antonio López de Santa Anna">Antonio López de Santa Anna</a>, Mexican liberals came to power. The <a href="/wiki/Reform_War" title="Reform War">Reform War</a> (1858–1861) fought between Liberals, who favored federalism and sought economic development, decreased power of the Roman Catholic Church, and Mexican army, and Conservatives, who favored centralized autocratic government, retention of elite privileges, did not lead to any military battles in the state. Despite that it strongly affected Chiapas politics.<a href="#cite_note-enchis-16">[15]</a> In Chiapas, the Liberal-Conservative division had its own twist. Much of the division between the highland and lowland ruling families was for whom the Indians should work for and for how long as the main shortage was of labor.<a href="#cite_note-higgens84-28">[27]</a> These families split into Liberals in the lowlands, who wanted further reform and Conservatives in the highlands who still wanted to keep some of the traditional colonial and church privileges.<a href="#cite_note-higgens85-29">[28]</a> For most of the early and mid 19th century, Conservatives held most of the power and were concentrated in the larger cities of San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapa (de Corzo), Tuxtla and Comitán. As Liberals gained the upper hand nationally in the mid-19th century, one Liberal politician Ángel Albino Corzo gained control of the state. Corzo became the primary exponent of Liberal ideas in the southeast of Mexico and defended the Palenque and <a href="/wiki/Pichucalco" title="Pichucalco">Pichucalco</a> areas from annexation by Tabasco. However, Corzo's rule would end in 1875, when he opposed the regime of <a href="/wiki/Porfirio_D%C3%ADaz" title="Porfirio Díaz">Porfirio Díaz</a>.<a href="#cite_note-enchis-16">[15]</a> Liberal land reforms would have negative effects on the state's indigenous population unlike in other areas of the country. Liberal governments expropriated lands that were previously held by the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_Crown" class="mw-redirect" title="Spanish Crown">Spanish Crown</a> and <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Catholic Church</a> in order to sell them into private hands. This was not only motivated by ideology, but also due to the need to raise money. However, many of these lands had been in a kind of "trust" with the local indigenous populations, who worked them. Liberal reforms took away this arrangement and many of these lands fell into the hands of large landholders who when made the local Indian population work for three to five days a week just for the right to continue to cultivate the lands. This requirement caused many to leave and look for employment elsewhere. Most became "free" workers on other farms, but they were often paid only with food and basic necessities from the farm shop. If this was not enough, these workers became indebted to these same shops and then unable to leave.<a href="#cite_note-higgens8283-30">[29]</a> The opening up of these lands also allowed many whites and mestizos (often called Ladinos in Chiapas) to encroach on what had been exclusively indigenous communities in the state. These communities had had almost no contact with the Ladino world, except for a priest. The new Ladino landowners occupied their acquired lands as well as others, such as shopkeepers, opened up businesses in the center of Indian communities. In 1848, a group of <a href="/wiki/Tzeltal_people" title="Tzeltal people">Tzeltals</a> plotted to kill the new mestizos in their midst, but this plan was discovered, and was punished by the removal of large number of the community's male members. The changing social order had severe negative effects on the indigenous population with alcoholism spreading, leading to more debts as it was expensive.<a href="#cite_note-higgens84-28">[27]</a> The struggles between Conservatives and Liberals nationally disrupted commerce and confused power relations between Indian communities and Ladino authorities. It also resulted in some brief respites for Indians during times when the instability led to uncollected taxes.<a href="#cite_note-higgens86-31">[30]</a> One other effect that Liberal land reforms had was the start of coffee plantations, especially in the <a href="/wiki/Soconusco" title="Soconusco">Soconusco</a> region. One reason for this push in this area was that Mexico was still working to strengthen its claim on the area against Guatemala's claims on the region. The land reforms brought colonists from other areas of the country as well as foreigners from England, the United States and France. These foreign immigrants would introduce coffee production to the areas, as well as modern machinery and professional administration of coffee plantations. Eventually, this production of coffee would become the state's most important crop.<a href="#cite_note-martineztorres-32">[31]</a> Although the Liberals had mostly triumphed in the state and the rest of the country by the 1860s, Conservatives still held considerable power in Chiapas. Liberal politicians sought to solidify their power among the indigenous groups by weakening the Roman Catholic Church. The more radical of these even allowed indigenous groups the religious freedoms to return to a number of native rituals and beliefs such as pilgrimages to natural shrines such as mountains and waterfalls.<a href="#cite_note-higgens8788-33">[32]</a> This culminated in the Chiapas "caste war", which was an uprising of <a href="/wiki/Tzotzil_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Tzotzil people">Tzotzils</a> beginning in 1868.<a href="#cite_note-hisschmal-21">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-higgens88-34">[33]</a> The basis of the uprising was the establishment of the "three stones cult" in Tzajahemal.<a href="#cite_note-higgens88-34">[33]</a> <a href="/w/index.php?title=Agustina_G%C3%B3mez_Checheb&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Agustina Gómez Checheb (page does not exist)">Agustina Gómez Checheb</a> was a girl tending her father's sheep when three stones fell from the sky. Collecting them, she put them on her father's altar and soon claimed that the stone communicated with her. Word of this soon spread and the "talking stones" of Tzajahemel soon became a local indigenous pilgrimage site. The cult was taken over by one pilgrim, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Pedro_D%C3%ADaz_Cuzcat&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Pedro Díaz Cuzcat (page does not exist)">Pedro Díaz Cuzcat</a>, who also claimed to be able to communicate with the stones, and had knowledge of Catholic ritual, becoming a kind of priest. However, this challenged the traditional Catholic faith and non Indians began to denounce the cult.<a href="#cite_note-higgens80-35">[34]</a> Stories about the cult include embellishments such as the <a href="/wiki/Crucifixion" title="Crucifixion">crucifixion</a> of a young Indian boy.<a href="#cite_note-higgens81-26">[25]</a> This led to the arrest of Checheb and Cuzcat in December 1868. This caused resentment among the Tzotzils. Although the Liberals had earlier supported the cult, Liberal landowners had also lost control of much of their Indian labor and Liberal politicians were having a harder time collecting taxes from indigenous communities.<a href="#cite_note-higgens8990-36">[35]</a> An Indian army gathered at Zontehuitz then attacked various villages and haciendas.<a href="#cite_note-rincones32-27">[26]</a> By the following June the city of San Cristóbal was surrounded by several thousand Indians, who offered the exchanged of several Ladino captives for their religious leaders and stones.<a href="#cite_note-higgens90-37">[36]</a> Chiapas governor Dominguéz came to San Cristóbal with about three hundred heavily armed men, who then attacked the Indian force armed only with sticks and <a href="/wiki/Machete" title="Machete">machetes</a>.<a href="#cite_note-higgens91-38">[37]</a> The indigenous force was quickly dispersed and routed with government troops pursuing pockets of guerrilla resistance in the mountains until 1870.

This would lead to a practice called enganche (hook), where recruiters would lure workers with advanced pay and other incentives such as alcohol and then trap them with debts for travel and other items to be worked off. This practice would lead to a kind of indentured servitude and uprisings in areas of the state, although they never led to large rebel armies as in other parts of Mexico.<a href="#cite_note-martineztorres-32">[31]</a> A small war broke out between <a href="/wiki/Tuxtla_Guti%C3%A9rrez" title="Tuxtla Gutiérrez">Tuxtla Gutiérrez</a> and San Cristobal in 1911. San Cristóbal, allied with <a href="/wiki/San_Juan_Chamula" class="mw-redirect" title="San Juan Chamula">San Juan Chamula</a>, tried to regain the state's capital but the effort failed. San Cristóbal de las Casas, which had a very limited budget, to the extent that it had to ally with San Juan Chamula challenged Tuxtla Gutierrez which, with only a small ragtag army overwhelmingly defeated the army helped by chamulas from San Cristóbal. There were three years of peace after that until troops allied with the "First Chief" of the revolutionary Constitutionalist forces, <a href="/wiki/Venustiano_Carranza" title="Venustiano Carranza">Venustiano Carranza</a>, entered in 1914 taking over the government, with the aim of imposing the Ley de Obreros (Workers' Law) to address injustices against the state's mostly indigenous workers. Conservatives responded violently months later when they were certain the Carranza forces would take their lands. This was mostly by way of guerrilla actions headed by farm owners who called themselves the Mapaches. This action continued for six years, until President Carranza was assassinated in 1920 and revolutionary general <a href="/wiki/%C3%81lvaro_Obreg%C3%B3n" title="Álvaro Obregón">Álvaro Obregón</a> became president of Mexico. This allowed the Mapaches to gain political power in the state and effectively stop many of the social reforms occurring in other parts of Mexico. The Mapaches continued to fight against socialists and communists in Mexico from 1920 to 1936, to maintain their control over the state.<a href="#cite_note-rincones35-17">[16]</a> In general, elite landowners also allied with the nationally dominant party founded by <a href="/wiki/Plutarco_El%C3%ADas_Calles" title="Plutarco Elías Calles">Plutarco Elías Calles</a> following the assassination of president-elect Obregón in 1928; that party was renamed the <a href="/wiki/Institutional_Revolutionary_Party" title="Institutional Revolutionary Party">Institutional Revolutionary Party</a> in 1946. Through that alliance, they could block land reform in this way as well.<a href="#cite_note-historycom-20">[19]</a> The Mapaches were first defeated in 1925 when an alliance of socialists and former Carranza loyalists had Carlos A. Vidal selected as governor, although he was assassinated two years later. The last of the Mapache resistance was overcome in the early 1930s by Governor Victorico Grajales, who pursued President <a href="/wiki/L%C3%A1zaro_C%C3%A1rdenas" title="Lázaro Cárdenas">Lázaro Cárdenas</a>' social and economic policies including persecution of the Catholic Church. These policies would have some success in redistributing lands and organizing indigenous workers but the state would remain relatively isolated for the rest of the 20th century.<a href="#cite_note-enchis-16">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-rincones35-17">[16]</a> The territory was reorganized into municipalities in 1916. The current state constitution was written in 1921.<a href="#cite_note-enchis-16">[15]</a> There was political stability from the 1940s to the early 1970s; however, regionalism regained with people thinking of themselves as from their local city or municipality over the state. This regionalism impeded the economy as local authorities restrained outside goods. For this reason, construction of highways and communications were pushed to help with economic development. Most of the work was done around Tuxtla Gutiérrez and Tapachula. This included the Sureste railroad connecting northern municipalities such as Pichucalco, Salto de Agua, Palenque, <a href="/wiki/Catazaj%C3%A1" title="Catazajá">Catazajá</a> and <a href="/wiki/La_Libertad,_Chiapas" title="La Libertad, Chiapas">La Libertad</a>. The Cristobal Colon highway linked Tuxtla to the Guatemalan border. Other highways included El Escopetazo to Pichucalco, a highway between San Cristóbal and Palenque with branches to Cuxtepeques and La Frailesca.

Added to this was there were still serf like conditions for many workers and insufficient educational infrastructure. Population continued to increase faster than the economy could absorb.<a href="#cite_note-enchis-16">[15]</a> There were some attempts to resettle peasant farmers onto non cultivated lands, but they were met with resistance. President <a href="/wiki/Gustavo_D%C3%ADaz_Ordaz" title="Gustavo Díaz Ordaz">Gustavo Díaz Ordaz</a> awarded a land grant to the town of Venustiano Carranza in 1967, but that land was already being used by cattle-ranchers who refused to leave. The peasants tried to take over the land anyway, but when violence broke out, they were forcibly removed.<a href="#cite_note-Hamnett264-48">[47]</a> In Chiapas poor farmland and severe poverty afflict the Mayan Indians which led to unsuccessful non violent protests and eventually armed struggle started by the <a href="/wiki/Zapatista_Army_of_National_Liberation" title="Zapatista Army of National Liberation">Zapatista Army of National Liberation</a> in January 1994.<a href="#cite_note-49">[48]</a> These events began to lead to political crises in the 1970s, with more frequent land invasions and takeovers of municipal halls.<a href="#cite_note-enchis-16">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-Hamnett264-48">[47]</a> This was the beginning of a process that would lead to the emergence of the <a href="/wiki/EZLN" class="mw-redirect" title="EZLN">Zapatista movement</a> in the 1990s. Another important factor to this movement would be the role of the Catholic Church from the 1960s to the 1980s. In 1960, <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Ruiz" title="Samuel Ruiz">Samuel Ruiz</a> became the bishop of the Diocese of Chiapas, centered in San Cristóbal. He supported and worked with <a href="/wiki/Marist_Brothers" title="Marist Brothers">Marist priests and nuns</a> following an ideology called <a href="/wiki/Liberation_theology" title="Liberation theology">liberation theology</a>. In 1974, he organized a statewide "Indian Congress" with representatives from the Tzeltal, Tzotzil, Tojolabal and Ch'ol peoples from 327 communities as well as Marists and the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Maoist_People%27s_Union&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Maoist People's Union (page does not exist)">Maoist People's Union</a>. This congress was the first of its kind with the goal of uniting the indigenous peoples politically. These efforts were also supported by leftist organizations from outside Mexico, especially to form unions of <a href="/wiki/Ejido" title="Ejido">ejido</a> organizations. These unions would later form the base of the <a href="/wiki/EZLN" class="mw-redirect" title="EZLN">EZLN</a> organization.<a href="#cite_note-sspeed-46">[45]</a> One reason for the Church's efforts to reach out to the indigenous population was that starting in the 1970s, a shift began from traditional Catholic affiliation to Protestant, Evangelical and other Christian sects.<a href="#cite_note-mhidalgo108-50">[49]</a> The 1980s saw a large wave of refugees coming into the state from <a href="/wiki/Central_America" title="Central America">Central America</a> as a number of these countries, especially <a href="/wiki/Guatemala" title="Guatemala">Guatemala</a>, were in the midst of violent political turmoil. The Chiapas/Guatemala border had been relatively porous with people traveling back and forth easily in the 19th and 20th centuries, much like the Mexico/U.S. border around the same time. This is in spite of tensions caused by Mexico's annexation of the <a href="/wiki/Soconusco" title="Soconusco">Soconusco</a> region in the 19th century. The border between Mexico and Guatemala had been traditionally poorly guarded, due to diplomatic considerations, lack of resources and pressure from landowners who need cheap labor sources.<a href="#cite_note-mgarcia46-51">[50]</a> The arrival of thousands of refugees from Central America stressed Mexico's relationship with Guatemala, at one point coming close to war as well as a politically destabilized Chiapas. Although Mexico is not a signatory to the UN <a href="/wiki/Convention_Relating_to_the_Status_of_Refugees" title="Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees">Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees</a>, international pressure forced the government to grant official protection to at least some of the refugees. Camps were established in Chiapas and other southern states, and mostly housed <a href="/wiki/Mayan_peoples" class="mw-redirect" title="Mayan peoples">Mayan peoples</a>. However, most Central American refugees from that time never received any official status, estimated by church and charity groups at about half a million from <a href="/wiki/El_Salvador" title="El Salvador">El Salvador</a> alone.<a href="#cite_note-mgarcia9-52">[51]</a> The Mexican government resisted direct international intervention in the camps, but eventually relented somewhat because of finances.<a href="#cite_note-mgarcia50-53">[52]</a> By 1984, there were 92 camps with 46,000 refugees in Chiapas, concentrated in three areas, mostly near the Guatemalan border.<a href="#cite_note-mgarcia52-54">[53]</a> To make matters worse, the Guatemalan army conducted raids into camps on Mexican territories with significant casualties, terrifying the refugees and local populations.<a href="#cite_note-mgarcia53-55">[54]</a> From within Mexico, refugees faced threats by local governments who threatened to deport them, legally or not, and local paramilitary groups funded by those worried about the political situation in Central America spilling over into the state.<a href="#cite_note-mgarcia54-56">[55]</a> The official government response was to militarize the areas around the camps, which limited international access and migration into Mexico from Central America was restricted.<a href="#cite_note-mgarcia56-57">[56]</a> By 1990, it was estimated that there were over 200,000 Guatemalans and half a million from El Salvador, almost all peasant farmers and most under age twenty.<a href="#cite_note-mgarcia45-58">[57]</a> In the 1980s, the politization of the indigenous and rural populations of the state that began in the 1960s and 1970s continued. In 1980, several <a href="/wiki/Ejido" title="Ejido">ejido</a> (communal land organizations) joined to form the Union of Ejidal Unions and United Peasants of Chiapas, generally called the Union of Unions, or UU. It had a membership of 12,000 families from over 180 communities. By 1988, this organization joined with other to form the ARIC-Union of Unions (ARIC-UU) and took over much of the Lacandon Jungle portion of the state.<a href="#cite_note-sspeed-46">[45]</a> Most of the members of these organization were from Protestant and Evangelical sects as well as "Word of God" Catholics affiliated with the political movements of the Diocese of Chiapas. What they held in common was indigenous identity vis-à-vis the non-indigenous, using the old 19th century "caste war" word "Ladino" for them.<a href="#cite_note-higgens81-26">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-sspeed-46">[45]</a><a href="#cite_note-mhidalgo108-50">[49]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Economic_liberalization_and_the_EZLN">Economic liberalization and the EZLN</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chiapas&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Economic liberalization and the EZLN">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Zapatistas_Territory_sign_in_Chiapas,_Mexico.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Zapatistas_Territory_sign_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg/220px-Zapatistas_Territory_sign_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="168" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Zapatistas_Territory_sign_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg/330px-Zapatistas_Territory_sign_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Zapatistas_Territory_sign_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg/440px-Zapatistas_Territory_sign_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1892" data-file-height="1444" /></a><figcaption>Zapatistas Territory sign in Chiapas, Mexico</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Zapatista_Army_of_National_Liberation_(EZLN)_graffiti_in_Chiapas,_Mexico.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Zapatista_Army_of_National_Liberation_%28EZLN%29_graffiti_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg/220px-Zapatista_Army_of_National_Liberation_%28EZLN%29_graffiti_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="150" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Zapatista_Army_of_National_Liberation_%28EZLN%29_graffiti_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg/330px-Zapatista_Army_of_National_Liberation_%28EZLN%29_graffiti_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Zapatista_Army_of_National_Liberation_%28EZLN%29_graffiti_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg/440px-Zapatista_Army_of_National_Liberation_%28EZLN%29_graffiti_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1491" data-file-height="1015" /></a><figcaption>Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) graffiti in Chiapas, Mexico</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:An_EZLN_mural_in_Chiapas,_Mexico.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/An_EZLN_mural_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg/220px-An_EZLN_mural_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="140" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/An_EZLN_mural_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg/330px-An_EZLN_mural_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/An_EZLN_mural_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg/440px-An_EZLN_mural_in_Chiapas%2C_Mexico.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1955" data-file-height="1245" /></a><figcaption>An EZLN mural in Chiapas, Mexico depicting a story about Compañero José written in Spanish and Mayan</figcaption></figure> The adoption of <a href="/wiki/Economic_liberalization" title="Economic liberalization">liberal economic reforms</a> by the Mexican federal government clashed with the leftist political ideals of these groups, notably as the reforms were believed to have begun to have negative economic effects on poor farmers, especially small-scale indigenous coffee-growers. Opposition would coalesce into the <a href="/wiki/EZLN" class="mw-redirect" title="EZLN">Zapatista movement</a> in the 1990s.<a href="#cite_note-sspeed-46">[45]</a> Although the Zapatista movement couched its demands and cast its role in response to contemporary issues, especially in its opposition to neoliberalism, it operates in the tradition of a long line of peasant and indigenous uprisings that have occurred in the state since the colonial era. This is reflected in its indigenous vs. <a href="/wiki/Mestizo" title="Mestizo">Mestizo</a> character.<a href="#cite_note-higgens81-26">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-Hamnett296-59">[58]</a> However, the movement was an economic one as well. Although the area has extensive resources, much of the local population of the state, especially in rural areas, did not benefit from this bounty. In the 1990s, two thirds of the state's residents did not have sewage service, only a third had electricity and half did not have potable water. Over half of the schools offered education only to the third grade and most pupils dropped out by the end of first grade.<a href="#cite_note-mgarcia54-56">[55]</a> Grievances, strongest in the San Cristóbal and <a href="/wiki/Lacandon_Jungle" title="Lacandon Jungle">Lacandon Jungle</a> areas, were taken up by a small leftist guerrilla band led by a man called only "<a href="/wiki/Subcomandante_Marcos" title="Subcomandante Marcos">Subcomandante Marcos</a>."<a href="#cite_note-Hamnett297-60">[59]</a> This small band, called the <a href="/wiki/EZLN" class="mw-redirect" title="EZLN">Zapatista Army of National Liberation (Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional, EZLN)</a>, came to the world's attention when on January 1, 1994 (the day the <a href="/wiki/NAFTA" class="mw-redirect" title="NAFTA">NAFTA</a> treaty went into effect) EZLN forces occupied and took over the towns of <a href="/wiki/San_Cristobal_de_las_Casas" class="mw-redirect" title="San Cristobal de las Casas">San Cristobal de las Casas</a>, <a href="/wiki/Las_Margaritas,_Chiapas" title="Las Margaritas, Chiapas">Las Margaritas</a>, <a href="/wiki/Altamirano,_Chiapas" title="Altamirano, Chiapas">Altamirano</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ocosingo" title="Ocosingo">Ocosingo</a> and three others. They read their proclamation of revolt to the world and then laid siege to a nearby military base, capturing weapons and releasing many prisoners from the jails.<a href="#cite_note-hisschmal-21">[20]</a> This action followed previous protests in the state in opposition to neoliberal economic policies.<a href="#cite_note-kovic-61">[60]</a> Although it has been estimated[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Unsupported_attributions" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch">by whom?</a>] as having no more than 300 armed guerrilla members, the EZLN paralyzed the Mexican government, which balked at the political risks of direct confrontation.<a href="#cite_note-Hamnett296-59">[58]</a> The major reason for this was that the rebellion caught the attention of the national and world press, as Marcos made full use of the then-new Internet to get the group's message out, putting the spotlight on indigenous issues in Mexico in general. Furthermore, the opposition press in Mexico City, especially <a href="/wiki/La_Jornada" title="La Jornada">La Jornada</a>, actively supported the rebels. These factors encouraged the rebellion to go national.<a href="#cite_note-Hamnett296297-62">[61]</a> Many[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers">quantify</a>] blamed the unrest on infiltration of leftists among the large Central American refugee population in Chiapas,<a href="#cite_note-mgarcia55-63">[62]</a> and the rebellion opened up splits in the countryside between those supporting and opposing the EZLN.<a href="#cite_note-Hamnett296-59">[58]</a> Zapatista sympathizers have included mostly Protestants and <a href="/wiki/Word_of_God_(community)" title="Word of God (community)">Word of God</a> Catholics, opposing those "traditionalist" Catholics who practiced a syncretic form of Catholicism and indigenous beliefs. This split had existed in Chiapas since the 1970s, with the latter group supported by the <a href="/wiki/Cacique" title="Cacique">caciques</a> and others in the traditional power-structure. Protestants and Word of God Catholics (allied directly with the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_San_Crist%C3%B3bal_de_Las_Casas" title="Roman Catholic Diocese of San Cristóbal de Las Casas">bishopric in San Cristóbal</a>) tended to oppose traditional power structures.<a href="#cite_note-kovic-61">[60]</a> The Bishop of Chiapas, <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Ruiz" title="Samuel Ruiz">Samuel Ruiz</a>, and the Diocese of Chiapas reacted by offering to mediate between the rebels and authorities. However, because of this diocese's activism since the 1960s, authorities[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_weasel_words" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words">which?</a>] accused the clergy of being involved with the rebels.<a href="#cite_note-mhidalgo112-64">[63]</a> There was some ambiguity about the relationship between Ruiz and Marcos and it was a constant feature of news coverage, with many in official circles using such to discredit Ruiz. Eventually, the activities of the Zapatistas began to worry the Roman Catholic Church in general and to upstage the diocese's attempts to re establish itself among Chiapan indigenous communities against Protestant evangelization. This would lead to a breach between the Church and the Zapatistas.<a href="#cite_note-Hamnett296298-65">[64]</a> The Zapatista story remained in headlines for a number[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers">quantify</a>] of years. One reason for this was <a href="/wiki/Acteal_massacre" title="Acteal massacre">the December 1997 massacre</a> of forty-five unarmed Tzotzil peasants, mostly women and children, by a government-backed paramilitary in the Zapatista-controlled village of <a href="/wiki/Acteal" title="Acteal">Acteal</a> in the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Chenhal%C3%B3&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Chenhaló (page does not exist)">Chenhaló</a> municipality just north of San Cristóbal. This allowed many media outlets in Mexico to step up their criticisms of the government. Despite this, the armed conflict was brief, mostly because the Zapatistas, unlike many other guerilla movements, did not try to gain traditional political power. It focused more on trying to manipulate public opinion in order to obtain concessions from the government. This has linked the Zapatistas to other indigenous and <a href="/wiki/Identity_politics" title="Identity politics">identity-politics</a> movements that arose in the late-20th century.<a href="#cite_note-mhidalgo113-66">[65]</a> The main concession that the group received was the <a href="/wiki/San_Andr%C3%A9s_Accords" title="San Andrés Accords">San Andrés Accords</a> (1996), also known as the Law on Indian Rights and Culture.<a href="#cite_note-jrodriguez-22">[21]</a> The Accords appear to grant certain indigenous zones autonomy, but this is against the <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_Mexico" title="Constitution of Mexico">Mexican constitution</a>,[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] so its legitimacy has been questioned. Zapatista declarations since the mid-1990s have called for a new constitution.<a href="#cite_note-Hamnett21-67">[66]</a> As of 1999<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chiapas&action=edit">[update]</a> the government had not found a solution to this problem.<a href="#cite_note-Hamnett296-59">[58]</a> The revolt also pressed the government to institute anti-poverty programs such as "Progresa" (later called "Oportunidades") and the "Puebla-Panama Plan" – aiming to increase trade between southern Mexico and Central America.<a href="#cite_note-adultwomen-68">[67]</a> As of the first decade of the 2000s the Zapatista movement remained popular in many indigenous communities.<a href="#cite_note-adultwomen-68">[67]</a> The uprising gave indigenous peoples a more active role in the state's politics.<a href="#cite_note-enchis-16">[15]</a> However, it did not solve the economic issues that many peasant farmers face, especially the lack of land to cultivate. This problem has been at crisis proportions since the 1970s, and the government's reaction has been to encourage peasant farmers—mostly indigenous—to migrate into the sparsely populated Lacandon Jungle, a trend since earlier in the century.<a href="#cite_note-Hamnett296-59">[58]</a> From the 1970s on, some 100,000 people set up homes in this rainforest area, with many being recognized as <a href="/wiki/Ejido" title="Ejido">ejidos</a>, or communal land-holding organizations.<a href="#cite_note-Hamnett296-59">[58]</a> These migrants included Tzeltals, Tojolabals, Ch'ols and mestizos, mostly farming corn and beans and raising livestock. However, the government changed policies in the late 1980s with the establishment of the <a href="/wiki/Montes_Azules_Biosphere_Reserve" title="Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve">Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve</a>, as much of the Lacandon Jungle had been destroyed or severely damaged.<a href="#cite_note-martineztorres-32">[31]</a><a href="#cite_note-stevenson-69">[68]</a> While armed resistance has wound down, the Zapatistas have remained a strong political force, especially around San Cristóbal and the Lacandon Jungle, its traditional bases. Since the Accords, they have shifted focus in gaining autonomy for the communities they control.<a href="#cite_note-historycom-20">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-70">[69]</a> Since the 1994 uprising, migration into the <a href="/wiki/Lacandon_Jungle" title="Lacandon Jungle">Lacandon Jungle</a> has significantly increased, involving illegal settlements and cutting in the protected biosphere reserve. The Zapatistas support these actions as part of indigenous rights, but that has put them in conflict with international environmental groups and with the indigenous inhabitants of the rainforest area, the <a href="/wiki/Lacandon_people" title="Lacandon people">Lacandons</a>. Environmental groups state that the settlements pose grave risks to what remains of the Lacandon, while the Zapatistas accuse them of being fronts for the government, which wants to open the rainforest up to multinational corporations.<a href="#cite_note-stevenson-69">[68]</a><a href="#cite_note-weinberg-71">[70]</a> Added to this is the possibility that significant oil and gas deposits exist under this area.<a href="#cite_note-martineztorres-32">[31]</a> The Zapatista movement has had some successes. The agricultural sector of the economy now favors <a href="/wiki/Ejido" title="Ejido">ejidos</a> and other commonly-owned land.<a href="#cite_note-enchis-16">[15]</a> There have been some other gains economically as well. In the last decades of the 20th century, Chiapas's traditional agricultural economy has diversified somewhat with the construction of more roads and better infrastructure by the federal and state governments. Tourism has become important in some areas of the state, especially in San Cristóbal de las Casas and Palenque.<a href="#cite_note-rincones34-72">[71]</a> Its economy is important to Mexico as a whole as well, producing coffee, corn, cacao, tobacco, sugar, fruit, vegetables and honey for export. It is also a key state for the nation's petrochemical and hydroelectric industries. A significant percentage of PEMEX's drilling and refining takes place in Chiapas and Tabasco, and Chiapas produces fifty-five percent of Mexico's hydroelectric energy.<a href="#cite_note-mgarcia54-56">[55]</a> However, Chiapas remains one of the poorest states in Mexico. Ninety-four of its 111 municipalities have a large percentage of the population living in poverty. In areas such as Ocosingo, Altamirano and Las Margaritas, the towns where the Zapatistas first came into prominence in 1994, 48% of the adults were illiterate.<a href="#cite_note-73">[72]</a> Chiapas is still considered[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Unsupported_attributions" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch">by whom?</a>] isolated and distant from the rest of Mexico, both culturally and geographically. It has significantly underdeveloped infrastructure compared to the rest of the country, and its significant indigenous population with isolationist tendencies keep the state distinct culturally.<a href="#cite_note-rincones34-72">[71]</a> Cultural stratification, neglect and lack of investment by the Mexican federal government has exacerbated this problem.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Dissolution_of_the_Rebel_Zapatista_Autonomous_Municipalities">Dissolution of the Rebel Zapatista Autonomous Municipalities</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chiapas&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Dissolution of the Rebel Zapatista Autonomous Municipalities">edit</a>]</div> In early November 2023, a treaty was signed by rebel <a href="/w/index.php?title=Subcomandante_Moises&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Subcomandante Moises (page does not exist)">Subcomandante Moises</a> and EZLN that announced the dissolution of <a href="/wiki/Rebel_Zapatista_Autonomous_Municipalities" title="Rebel Zapatista Autonomous Municipalities">the Rebel Zapatista Autonomous Municipalities</a> due to the cartel violence generated by Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco New Generation Cartel and violent border clashes in <a href="/wiki/Guatemala" title="Guatemala">Guatemala</a> due to the increasing violence growing on the border.<a href="#cite_note-74">[73]</a><a href="#cite_note-Zapatista-75">[74]</a> Caracoles will remain open to locals but remain closed to outsiders, and the previous MAREZ system will be reorganized into a new autonomous system.<a href="#cite_note-Zapatista-75">[74]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geography">Geography</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chiapas&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Geography">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Political_geography">Political geography</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chiapas&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Political geography">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Municipalities_of_Chiapas" title="Municipalities of Chiapas">Municipalities of Chiapas</a></div> Chiapas is located in the south east of Mexico, bordering the states of <a href="/wiki/Tabasco" title="Tabasco">Tabasco</a>, <a href="/wiki/Veracruz" title="Veracruz">Veracruz</a> and <a href="/wiki/Oaxaca" title="Oaxaca">Oaxaca</a> with the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Ocean" title="Pacific Ocean">Pacific Ocean</a> to the south and <a href="/wiki/Guatemala" title="Guatemala">Guatemala</a> to the east.

As of 2010, the population is 4,796,580, the eighth most populous state in Mexico.<a href="#cite_note-inegipob-96">[95]</a> The 20th century saw large population growth in Chiapas.

About half of the state's population is under age 20, with an average age of 19.<a href="#cite_note-perfilsoc-100">[99]</a> In 2005, there were 924,967 households, 81% headed by men and the rest by women.

Four of Chiapas's indigenous languages, Tzeltal, Tzotzil, Tojolabal and Chol, are high-vitality languages, meaning that a high percentage of these ethnicities speak the language and that there is a high rate of monolingualism in it. It is used in over 80% of homes. Zoque is considered to be of medium-vitality with a rate of bilingualism of over 70% and home use somewhere between 65% and 80%.

In total, there are 1,141,499 who speak an indigenous language or 27% of the total population. Of these, 14% do not speak Spanish.<a href="#cite_note-inegidiv-113">[112]</a> Studies done between 1930 and 2000 have indicated that Spanish is not dramatically displacing these languages.

Many indigenous people, in particular the Maya, are employed in the production of traditional clothing, fabrics, textiles, wood items, artworks and traditional goods such as jade and amber works.<a href="#cite_note-bosques-118">[117]</a> Tourism has provided a number of a these communities with markets for their handcrafts and works, some of which are very profitable.<a href="#cite_note-perfilsoc-100">[99]</a> San Cristóbal de las Casas and San Juan Chamula maintain a strong indigenous identity. On market day, many indigenous people from rural areas come into San Cristóbal to buy and sell mostly items for everyday use such as fruit, vegetables, animals, cloth, consumer goods and tools.<a href="#cite_note-costumbresdes-108">[107]</a> San Juan Chamula is considered to be a center of indigenous culture, especially its elaborate festivals of <a href="/wiki/Carnival" title="Carnival">Carnival</a> and Day of Saint John. It was common for politicians, especially during <a href="/wiki/Institutional_Revolutionary_Party" title="Institutional Revolutionary Party">Institutional Revolutionary Party</a>'s dominance to visit here during election campaigns and dress in indigenous clothing and carry a carved walking stick, a traditional sign of power.<a href="#cite_note-kovic-61">[60]</a> Relations between the indigenous ethnic groups is complicated. While there has been inter-ethnic political activism such as that promoted by the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_San_Crist%C3%B3bal_de_Las_Casas" title="Roman Catholic Diocese of San Cristóbal de Las Casas">Diocese of Chiapas</a> in the 1970s and the <a href="/wiki/Zapatista_Army_of_National_Liberation" title="Zapatista Army of National Liberation">Zapatista movement</a> in the 1990s, there has been inter-indigenous conflict as well.<a href="#cite_note-kovic-61">[60]</a><a href="#cite_note-stevenson-69">[68]</a> Much of this has been based on religion, pitting those of the traditional Catholic/indigenous beliefs who support the traditional power structure against Protestants, Evangelicals and Word of God Catholics (directly allied with the Diocese) who tend to oppose it. This is particularly significant problem among the Tzeltals and Tzotzils. Starting in the 1970s, traditional leaders in San Juan Chamula began expelling dissidents from their homes and land, amounting to about 20,000 indigenous forced to leave over a thirty-year period. It continues to be a serious social problem although authorities downplay it.<a href="#cite_note-mhidalgo105-43">[42]</a><a href="#cite_note-kovic-61">[60]</a> Recently there has been political, social and ethnic conflict between the Tzotzil who are more urbanized and have a significant number of Protestant practitioners and the Tzeltal who are predominantly Catholic and live in smaller farming communities. Many Protestant Tzotzil have accused the Tzeltal of ethnic discrimination and intimidation due to their religious beliefs and the Tzeltal have in return accused the Tzotzil of singling them out for discrimination. Clothing, especially women's clothing, varies by indigenous group. For example, women in Ocosingo tend to wear a blouse with a round collar embroidered with flowers and a black skirt decorated with ribbons and tied with a cloth belt. The Lacandon people tend to wear a simple white tunic. They also make a ceremonial tunic from <a href="/wiki/Amate" title="Amate">bark</a>, decorated with astronomy symbols. In Tenejapa, women wear a <a href="/wiki/Huipil" title="Huipil">huipil</a> embroidered with Mayan fretwork along with a black wool <a href="/wiki/Rebozo" title="Rebozo">rebozo</a>.

The crop was introduced in 1846 by Jeronimo Manchinelli who brought 1,500 seedlings from Guatemala on his farm La Chacara. This was followed by a number of other farms as well. Coffee production intensified during the regime of <a href="/wiki/Porfirio_D%C3%ADaz" title="Porfirio Díaz">Porfirio Díaz</a> and the Europeans who came to own many of the large farms in the area. By 1892, there were 22 coffee farms in the region, among them Nueva Alemania, Hamburgo, Chiripa, Irlanda, Argovia, San Francisco, and Linda Vista in the <a href="/wiki/Soconusco" title="Soconusco">Soconusco</a> region.<a href="#cite_note-abianco-83">[82]</a> Since then coffee production has grown and diversified to include large plantations, the use and free and forced labor and a significant sector of small producers.<a href="#cite_note-martineztorres-32">[31]</a> While most coffee is grown in the Soconusco, other areas grow it, including the municipalities of <a href="/wiki/Oxchuc" title="Oxchuc">Oxchuc</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Panthel%C3%B3&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Pantheló (page does not exist)">Pantheló</a>, <a href="/wiki/El_Bosque,_Chiapas" title="El Bosque, Chiapas">El Bosque</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tenejapa" class="mw-redirect" title="Tenejapa">Tenejapa</a>, <a href="/wiki/Chenalh%C3%B3" title="Chenalhó">Chenalhó</a>, <a href="/wiki/Larr%C3%A1inzar" title="Larráinzar">Larráinzar</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Chalchihuit%C3%A1n" title="Chalchihuitán">Chalchihuitán</a>, with around six thousand producers.<a href="#cite_note-martineztorres-32">[31]</a> It also includes organic coffee producers with 18 million tons grown annually 60,000 producers. One third of these producers are indigenous women and other peasant farmers who grow the coffee under the shade of native trees without the use of agro chemicals. Some of this coffee is even grown in environmentally protected areas such as the El Triunfo reserve, where ejidos with 14,000 people grow the coffee and sell it to cooperativers who sell it to companies such as <a href="/wiki/Starbucks" title="Starbucks">Starbucks</a>, but the main market is Europe.

Most livestock is done by families using traditional methods. Most important are meat and dairy cattle, followed by pigs and domestic fowl. These three account for 93% of the value of production.<a href="#cite_note-acteconom-124">[123]</a> Annual milk production in Chiapas totals about 180 million liters per year.<a href="#cite_note-historycom-20">[19]</a> The state's cattle production, along with timber from the Lacandon Jungle and energy output gives it a certain amount of economic clouts compared to other states in the region.<a href="#cite_note-hisschmal-21">[20]</a> Forestry is mostly based on conifers and common tropical species producing 186,858 m3 per year at a value of 54,511,000 pesos. Exploited non-wood species include the Camedor palm tree for its fronds. The fishing industry is underdeveloped but includes the capture of wild species as well as fish farming. Fish production is generated both from the ocean as well as the many freshwater rivers and lakes. In 2002, 28,582 tons of fish valued at 441.2 million pesos was produced.

One reason for this is its many indigenous ethnicities who produce traditional items out of identity as well as commercial reasons.<a href="#cite_note-rincones42-130">[129]</a> One commercial reason is the market for crafts provided by the tourism industry. Another is that most indigenous communities can no longer provide for their own needs through agriculture. The need to generate outside income has led to many indigenous women producing crafts communally, which has not only had economic benefits but also involved them in the political process as well.<a href="#cite_note-kovic-61">[60]</a> Unlike many other states, Chiapas has a wide variety of wood resources such as <a href="/wiki/Cedar_wood" class="mw-redirect" title="Cedar wood">cedar</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mahogany" title="Mahogany">mahogany</a> as well as plant species such as reeds, <a href="/wiki/Ixtle" title="Ixtle">ixtle</a> and palm.

Items include various types of handcrafted clothing, dishes, jars, furniture, roof tiles, toys, musical instruments, tools and more.<a href="#cite_note-rincones42-130">[129]</a> Chiapas's most important handcraft is <a href="/wiki/Textiles_of_Mexico" title="Textiles of Mexico">textiles</a>, most of which is cloth woven on a backstrap loom.<a href="#cite_note-artepopdes-119">[118]</a> Indigenous girls often learn how to sew and embroider before they learn how to speak Spanish. They are also taught how to make natural dyes from insects, and weaving techniques. Many of the items produced are still for day-to-day use, often dyed in bright colors with intricate embroidery. They include skirts, belts, <a href="/wiki/Rebozo" title="Rebozo">rebozos</a>, blouses, <a href="/wiki/Huipil" title="Huipil">huipils</a> and shoulder wraps called chals. Designs are in red, yellow, turquoise blue, purple, pink, green and various pastels and decorated with designs such as flowers, butterflies, and birds, all based on local flora and fauna. Commercially, indigenous textiles are most often found in San Cristóbal de las Casas, San Juan Chamula and Zinacantán. The best textiles are considered to be from Magdalenas, Larráinzar, Venustiano Carranza and Sibaca.<a href="#cite_note-rincones43-131">[130]</a> One of the main minerals of the state is <a href="/wiki/Amber" title="Amber">amber</a>, much of which is 25 million years old, with quality comparable to that found in the <a href="/wiki/Dominican_Republic" title="Dominican Republic">Dominican Republic</a>. Chiapan amber has a number of unique qualities, including much that is clear all the way through and some with fossilized insects and plants. Most Chiapan amber is worked into jewelry including <a href="/wiki/Pendant" title="Pendant">pendants</a>, rings and necklaces. Colors vary from white to yellow/orange to a deep red, but there are also green and pink tones as well. Since pre-Hispanic times, native peoples have believed amber to have healing and protective qualities. The largest amber mine is in Simojovel, a small village 130 km from Tuxtla Gutiérrez, which produces 95% of Chiapas's amber. Other mines are found in Huitiupán, Totolapa, El Bosque, Pueblo Nuevo Solistahuacán, Pantelhó and San Andrés Duraznal. According to the Museum of Amber in San Cristóbal, almost 300 kg of amber is extracted per month from the state. Prices vary depending on quality and color.<a href="#cite_note-rincones43-131">[130]</a> The major center for ceramics in the state is the city of <a href="/wiki/Amatenango_del_Valle" title="Amatenango del Valle">Amatenango del Valle</a>, with its barro blanco (white clay) pottery.<a href="#cite_note-rincones44-132">[131]</a> The most traditional ceramic in Amatenango and Aguacatenango is a type of large jar called a <a href="/wiki/Cantaro" title="Cantaro">cantaro</a> used to transport water and other liquids.<a href="#cite_note-artepopdes-119">[118]</a> Many pieces created from this clay are ornamental as well as traditional pieces for everyday use such as comals, dishes, storage containers and flowerpots.

After the Spanish subdued the area, the building of Spanish style cities began, especially in the highland areas. Many of the colonial-era buildings are related to <a href="/wiki/Dominican_Order" title="Dominican Order">Dominicans</a> who came from <a href="/wiki/Seville" title="Seville">Seville</a>. This Spanish city had much <a href="/wiki/Moorish_architecture" title="Moorish architecture">Arabic influence in its architecture</a>, and this was incorporated into the colonial architecture of Chiapas, especially in structures dating from the 16th to 18th centuries. However, there are a number of architectural styles and influences present in Chiapas colonial structures, including colors and patterns from <a href="/wiki/Oaxaca" title="Oaxaca">Oaxaca</a> and <a href="/wiki/Central_America" title="Central America">Central America</a> along with indigenous ones from Chiapas. The main colonial structures are the cathedral and Santo Domingo church of San Cristóbal, the Santo Domingo monastery and La Pila in Chiapa de Corzo. The San Cristóbal cathedral has a Baroque facade that was begun in the 16th century but by the time it was finished in the 17th, it had a mix of Spanish, Arabic, and indigenous influences.<a href="#cite_note-rincones13-137">[136]</a> It is one of the most elaborately decorated in Mexico.<a href="#cite_note-rincones14-138">[137]</a> The churches and former monasteries of Santo Domingo, La Merced and San Francisco have ornamentation similar to that of the cathedral. The main structures in Chiapa de Corzo are the Santo Domingo monastery and the La Pila fountain. Santo Domingo has indigenous decorative details such as double headed eagles as well as a statue of the founding monk. In San Cristóbal, the Diego de Mazariegos house has a <a href="/wiki/Plateresque" title="Plateresque">Plateresque</a> facade, while that of Francisco de Montejo, built later in the 18th century has a mix of Baroque and Neoclassical. <a href="/wiki/Art_Deco" title="Art Deco">Art Deco</a> structures can be found in San Cristóbal and Tapachula in public buildings as well as a number of rural coffee plantations from the <a href="/wiki/Porfirio_D%C3%ADaz" title="Porfirio Díaz">Porfirio Díaz</a> era.<a href="#cite_note-rincones14-138">[137]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Art_and_literature">Art and literature</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chiapas&action=edit&section=39" title="Edit section: Art and literature">edit</a>]</div> Art in Chiapas is based on the use of color and has strong indigenous influence. This dates back to cave paintings such as those found in <a href="/wiki/Sima_de_las_Cotorras" title="Sima de las Cotorras">Sima de las Cotorras</a> near <a href="/wiki/Tuxtla_Guti%C3%A9rrez" title="Tuxtla Gutiérrez">Tuxtla Gutiérrez</a> and the caverns of Rancho Nuevo where human remains and offerings were also found.

In general, Mayan artwork stands out for its precise depiction of faces and its narrative form. Indigenous forms derive from this background and continue into the colonial period with the use of indigenous color schemes in churches and modern structures such as the municipal palace in <a href="/wiki/Tapachula" title="Tapachula">Tapachula</a>. Since the colonial period, the state has produced a large number of painters and sculptors.

In the pre-Hispanic period, indigenous peoples had already been producing music with wooden instruments. The marimba was introduced by African slaves brought to Chiapas by the Spanish. However, it achieved its widespread popularity in the early 20th century due to the formation of the Cuarteto Marimbistico de los Hermanos Gómez in 1918, who popularized the instrument and the popular music that it plays not only in Chiapas but in various parts of Mexico and into the United States. Along with Cuban Juan Arozamena, they composed the piece "Las chiapanecas" considered to be the unofficial anthem of the state. In the 1940s, they were also featured in a number of Mexican films.<a href="#cite_note-rincones18-109">[108]</a> Marimbas are constructed in Venustiano Carranza, Chiapas de Corzo and Tuxtla Gutiérrez.<a href="#cite_note-atraccultur-135">[134]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cuisine">Cuisine</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chiapas&action=edit&section=41" title="Edit section: Cuisine">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Cuisine_of_Chiapas" title="Cuisine of Chiapas">Cuisine of Chiapas</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:TaxcalatePalenque.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/TaxcalatePalenque.JPG/170px-TaxcalatePalenque.JPG" decoding="async" width="170" height="254" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/TaxcalatePalenque.JPG/255px-TaxcalatePalenque.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/TaxcalatePalenque.JPG/340px-TaxcalatePalenque.JPG 2x" data-file-width="2592" data-file-height="3872" /></a><figcaption>Drink called taxcalate</figcaption></figure> Like the rest of <a href="/wiki/Mesoamerica" title="Mesoamerica">Mesoamerica</a>, the basic diet has been based on corn and Chiapas cooking retains strong indigenous influence.
