Donají was a Zapotec princess at the time of the Conquest who was decapitated in a battle with the Mixtec. Her severed head was later found perfectly preserved with an eternal lily growing out of its ear. This image is the seal of Oaxaca City.

Benito Juárez (1806–1872) was a Zapotec born poor and orphaned at a young age, who taught himself Spanish and Law, and eventually rose through the political ranks to the presidency. He successfully led Mexico through the both the Reform War and the Second French Intervention, firmly establishing Mexican sovereignty on the international stage.
