Thank you so very much for this video. I'm Mexican-American and in school and in the media we are basically told that all Mexicans were Aztecs. I didn't realize how incorrect that is until I took a trip down to Michoacan to visit family and explored Tzintzuntzan, Janitzio and Patzcuaro. I fell in love with the place, and even though I am physically, culturally and generationally removed from it, I can't help but feel pride in the history and in the resilience of the Purepecha people.

Knut. It is so good that you feel proud of your background, and if you pass that to your children, that will give them the same resilience as your ancestors.

Are you a real Mexican or chicano, if you’re not born in Mexico you’re not Mexican, and you mean Mexican-United Statesean* Mexicans are already American, they live in the American continent, the U.S. doesn’t own America, it’s just stating where it’s at geographically, the U.S. doesn’t have a real name, and nobody thinks Mexicans are all Mexika(Wrongfully called Aztecas) everyone knows there’s hundreds of different peoples in Mexico

They're Mexican just like me and (I'm guessing) you, doesn't matter if they're born from Mexico or not, they're still Mexican. Jesus, you're just like the people from the US who think we're too Mexican for them, despite speaking their language and eating their foods and tryna fit in with them.

School need to be educated - I was taught about the Mayans, but don't remember much more info being taught. I too am Mexican American (have only been slightly over the border of US into Mexico) but know my grandmother was of either the Purepecha or Otomi ethnicities as these are the two tribes that settled in the region my father was born: San Francisco del Ricon, Guanajuato, Mexico - this is all so fascinating to me and I would LOVE to one day be able to learn more about my heritage.

These are great people. Hardworking, honest, kind, and loyal. Many people who are Mexican speak derrogatorily about them, not realizing they themselves have indigenous blood in them even when they don't recognize it. My oldest sister is one of them, which why we highly dislike each other. We are not even on speaking terms.

I've always been obsessed with the Purepecha. En Mexico dicen que la sangre habla. I wanted to focus on Purepecha history when I was in college, but unfortunately I was not able to have it as my field of study. My family is from southern Guanajuato bordering Michoacan; this area used to border the Purepecha Empire. Until I took a DNA test I didn't have specifics regarding my Native American DNA. There hasn't been a full blooded Native American ancestor in my family tree for atleast 250 years or more. In southern Guanajuato, there's been Native American and European mixing since the 1520's. In fact, more so than in Michoacan. The people in southern Guanajuato tend to be very light skinned. Well, it turns out that I have a lot of Native American DNA from my blonde blue-eyed Mexican ancestors. My grandmother is blonde and blue-eyed like Anne Coulter (one can't get any whiter than that), and she has 42% Native American DNA, the majority of which is Purepecha. According to Ancestry DNA I have DNA from the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, (Mexica), and Meso American region; however, I have mostly Purepecha DNA. I think it's so cool that I have so much Native American blood, especially Purepecha. My Native American ancestors all built phenomenal pyramid city states. Yes, I have European too, but I find my Native American ancestors way more interesting!

If any group has stayed close to their roots, it's the Mexican American, or the Pochitos, as they call us in Mexico. The Mexican Americans (I use the term Mexican Americans for a quick identity), the Latinos have a point, Americas is a continent, not a country. We r kind of the orphans, we r not Mexican enough for some Méxicans and to Mexican for some USA ppl. I think this is why AMLO is so popular with so many pochitos, he seems to understand it, sometimes when he speaks and says things like, I ask our paisano and our friends in USA, he seems to include us, hope he does. If Mexico ever goes for it's land, the USA may be in for a big surprise regarding generations of Mexican Americans. We r not traders, it's never mentioned, but we have given more sons and daughters to this country in wars than any other group of people of color. Twice the man power and twice the wounded and mortalities, and hardly ever mentioned. It's hurtful.

"Their language is a mix of Purpecha, Tarasco, and Michoacáno." Tarasco is another word for Purpecha. It's the name the Spanish gave us. The way it was worded implies it's different when it's not.
