Abstract: Abstract This article analyzes the ties of solidarity that exist in the communities that are part of the Purhépecha indigenous region, in Michoacán, Mexico. Through various investigations, we seek to lay the foundations for the construction of an index that would allow the measurement of “social cohesion”, considering that this is generated socially and historically, and is not necessarily determined from a rational-economic vision, but that the bases of social cohesion can be “based on the existence of a collective conscience, c0omposed of a system of values, norms and feelings and ideas common among all the people who make up society” that they are based on the indigenous worldview itself.
