To date, no research has focused on indigenous Mexican youth and their adaptation to U.S. schools, which includes their educational experiences associated with academic achievement. This dissertation examines high school students in an immigrant community of Los Angeles, California, comprised of Zapotecs who are identified as "indigenous peoples" based on their pre-Columbian traditions, customs, and language. As part of this examination, the study juxtaposes Zapotec and mestizo youth. Mestizos are persons of mixed racial ancestry, commonly of mixed European and Native American ancestry and from Latin America. Using statistical analyses (e.g., path analysis) and in-depth semistructured interviews, the researcher, through this mixed-methods study, which used a sample of 76 Zapotec and 168 mestizo students, sought to determine the relationship between identity, cultural orientation, and academic achievement. The quantitative findings revealed that Zapotec youth had higher current and overall grade point averages (GPAs) and received more academic awards as compared to their mestizo peers. For Zapotec youth, ethnic identity affected their current and overall GPAs, whereas mestizo ethnic identity did not influence academic achievement. However, for mestizos, educational aspirations did influence their current and overall GPAs. The qualitative findings from 15 Zapotec youth demonstrated high indigenous identity regard, low levels of Zapotec language fluency, and high levels of academic achievement. The results from this study can provide educators with insight into these students' experiences and can serve as a reference tool for educators at all levels who work with indigenous students.
