Yes, between 60-80% of the Mexican population are Mestizos, people of mixed European ("White") and Native American background. The Mestizo statistic however, does not include all full blood natives who speak Spanish and do not live in indigenous communities: the Native American, or Amerindian population ranges from 10% to 30% of the Mexican population (between 11 and 34 million in 2010) and such people are the pure descendants of Native American peoples who inhabited Mexico before the arrival of Europeans during the 16th century.
