Popis:	During the 1970s and 1980s, the Direccion General de Investigaciones Politicas y Sociales, an agency within the Secretaria de Gobernacion, produced hundreds of spy reports on the Consejo Nacional de Pueblos Indigenas (National Council of Indigenous People, CNPI), a national indigenous organisation that, in 1975, became part of the state's corporate structure. During a time when social and political realities in Mexico led a number of social sectors to emerge and challenge state power in a way that threatened to destabilise it, these reports indicate that indigenous organisations must now be added to workers, students and guerrillas as targets of intelligence agencies. Carrying out such surveillance on the CNPI reveals how the state was spying on the state.
