11. Tzotzil – Mexico
Living currently in the Mexican state of Chiapas, the Tzotzil are one of the ethnic group of people who descended from the Maya. Archaeological data shows their ancestors arrived in the area they currently reside between 100 to 300 BCE.
They have intricate religious beliefs, in which the world is thought to be square with a hill located in the ceremonial center (the navel). They also believe human beings have two souls, a “classic” soul and an animal spirit companion.
