The Ixcatec people are a native ethnic minority in Mexico. The Ixcatec community is centered in Santa María Ixcatlán (Njani Male Xula), Oaxaca, which is within the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve.
The desertification of the zone and two pandemics, one in colonial times, have been devastating to Ixcateco populations.
