The Mayo or Yoreme are an Indigenous group in Mexico, living in the northern states of southern Sonora, northern Sinaloa and small settlements in Durango.[1]
Mayo people originally lived near the Mayo River and Fuerte River valleys.[1] The Mayo sustain themselves mainly by agriculture and fishing, but also create artwork and crafts.
