Along the east coast of Yucatan live the Santa Cruz Indians, the direct descendants of the ancient Mayas. They have never been subdued, and ‘for five centuries they have successfully resisted all the efforts, first of the Spaniards and later of the Mexicans, to conquer their country. These Indians, so far as is known, live the lives of ancestors of a thousand years ago. They worship the same gods and perform the ancient religious ceremonies.’
