Unearthing Mexico's Roots, One Story at a Time

Your One-Stop Guide on Mexico’s Indigenous People, History and Genealogy

From coast to coast, every Mexican state has a unique story echoing its past and present.

While many associate Mexico's Indigenous heritage primarily with the Aztecs, a term historically used to describe the Mexica people of the Triple Alliance, and the Mayans, it's essential to note that the Aztec Empire governed just eight of today's 32 Mexican states, and the Mayans resided in merely five of these states. Mexico's Indigenous history is rich and diverse, extending far beyond these renowned civilizations.


Each of Mexico's 64 ethnolinguistic groups carries a unique narrative. Our mission is to amplify their voices by sharing their stories, ensuring that the rich tapestry of Mexico's Indigenous heritage is celebrated and understood.
