The Rayon Zoque of Mexico, numbering approximately 16,500 people, are Engaged yet Unreached. They are a Zoque people of Rayon in Chiapas, Mexico, descended from some of Mesoamerica's earliest maize farmers roughly 5,800 years ago, possibly kin to the Olmec, whose pre-Hispanic territory once spanned Chiapas and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. They mostly adhere to Folk Catholicism and Spanish is their primary language.
