‘It is very important to vindicate her’: Mexico’s president want to reclaim the story of Malinche, 16th century translator for the conquistadors

Mexico is launching a series of cultural events to honor Malinche, also known as Malintzin, a pivotal figure in the country's history as a translator for the conquistadors. This initiative, coinciding with the anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival, aims to reclaim her narrative and highlight her significance in Mexican heritage. By celebrating Malinche, the Mexican government seeks to address historical injustices and promote a more nuanced understanding of the past, making this a meaningful step in cultural recognition.
