The '''Totonac''' are an [[Indigenous people of Mexico]] who reside in the [[Mexican state|states]] of [[Veracruz]], [[Puebla]], and [[Hidalgo (state)|Hidalgo]]. They are one of the possible builders of the [[pre-Columbian]] city of [[El Tajín]], and further maintained quarters in [[Teotihuacán]] (a city which they claim to have built). Until the mid-19th century they were the world's main producers of [[vanilla]].<ref>{{cite book |author1-last=Rain |author1-first=Patricia |author2-last=Lubinsky |author2-first=Pesach |editor1-last=Odoux |editor1-first=Eric |editor2-last=Grisoni |editor2-first=Michel |chapter=Vanilla Production in Mexico |date=2011 |title=Vanilla |url=http://www.crcnetbase.com/isbn/9781420083385 |location=USA |publisher=[[CRC Press]] |page=336 |isbn=978-1-4200-8337-8}}</ref> The Totonac people cultivated vanilla in [[Papantla]], but faced with competition when the French island of Réunion entered the market. This group of people also encountered conflicts over land ownership during the course of the 19th and early 20th centuries, as the privatization of communal land in [[Papantla]] became more of a concern to local elites.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Kourí |first=Emilio |title=A Pueblo divided: business, property, and community in Papantla, Mexico |date=2004 |publisher=Stanford University Press |isbn=978-0-8047-3939-9 |location=Stanford, Calif}}</ref>
