Paul,

I too was going to mention that work has been done in Mexico, by CONEVYT and
the SEP (Secretaria de Educación Pública). The latter established a
Coordinación General de Educación Intercultural y Bilingüe. Here is an
article by the person who I believe was first to direct that program, Silvia
Schmelkes, on access to higher education by indigenous groups:
<http://www.anuies.mx/e_proyectos/pdf/La_educ_sup_indigena.pdf>

and here is her introduction to a special issue of the Revista Mexicana de
Investigación Educativa, on intercultural education:
