my family is actually from Michoacan and my parents speak to us in p'urepecha as a way to keep us connected to the culture and family who are still in Michoacan
Nessa that’s awesome my family is also form Michoacan but I had no idea about our history so this is a first for me.
Nessa SAME
I understand it well and speak it a little bit
asho !😌
My family is from there, my Grandpa was Alberto Martinez Cardenas, known as the general. Related to lazaro Cardenas
Purepechas were one of the few cultures in the American continent, if not the only ones, to work with bronze. An other oddity is that their language has no relationship with any language in México. No body knows were they came from.
they say you smell like caca
Apparently the language is from natives of Columbia. Or so i've read
@@froyerthedestroyer6756 i heard it was from peru
I am of Basque and Purepecha descent... I feel like I dont belong on this earth
They where descendents of the Maya,
Thank you for this❤️ I just found out we are purépecha on my moms side and I have been researching sooo much on them. Culture is absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful! Thanks for stopping by. I have another Purepecha-themed video: ruclips.net/video/xNeV4VSRxvo/видео.html
Mexico Unexplained thank you so much!
Are you learning the Purepetcha language, and if you are, what resources have you found?
My dads half purepecha , and knows some words in tarasco , the music and the culture is really interesting ❤️
Chicken is pipichu
Mariselabarbozajuarez My parents both. Were lit fam. Were all over now...but im going back one day.
@@darangatang2804 Tsikata is chicken. T'arhechu for rooster. Pipichu is a young chick
Tarascos No. Purhepecha.
My mom never used a watch to tell time,she used the start to tell time i never understood why mom always looked into the the sky to tell time until i was an adult,thank you for the information.
I'm from Michoacán and growing up I learned that "tarasco" is a P'urhepecha term to address the foreigner (Spaniards) and/or a way to address relatives probably once they began to inter marry. The lake you mentioned is called Yunuén.
Na Erantsku anapuecha! Thank you for bringing this to RUclips! I meet many Mexican Americans and even Michoacanos that do not know about the unconquered empire. So it’s amazing to see some content that begins to highlight our complex and often hidden history. We are survivors of 529 years of ongoing colonization. These stories and the many my peoples other writings and oral history will be passed down to my children. They will know who they are and they will not be deprived of their identities like so many were sadly and horribly forced to do by way of the cross and the sword. Proud to be a descendent here, Santa Fe Michoacán, Juchari Uinapikua ✊🏽
Thanks for your comments!
My DNA is 56% Michoacán and I’m so proud to find out that the blood of these amazing people is part of me.
Welcome Purepecha! Thanks for stopping by.
Just stumbled upon your channel. Really enjoy and appreciate the work you put into making these videos. My family is from Michoacan and I'm predominantly Purepecha.. Thanks for this vid.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for subbing. Welcome to Mexico Unexplained.
a what's your facebook name I live in purepero
That's dope!
🪶🪶💯 Purhepecha Bloodline From Michoacan Mexico out of the outskirts of Morelia and Proud 🪶🪶 Long live The Ruler Tariacuari and uacúsecha people ...
My father and his people are from Pedernales, Michoacan. My Ancestry DNA say’s I am Indigenous Mexican, I assume this is my people.
Unless they migrated into Michoacan from another area, I'd say it's highly likely, almost a guarantee. You probably have some Mexica or Otomi in there, too.
I am from Nurio Michoacán and I also speak purepecha
I took an ancestry DNA test too, and it shows iam 52% indigenous Mexico, I don't know my specific tribe though....iam also 38% Spaniard & 4% African.....my family in Mexico hail from Nuevo Leon, Mexico ... Monterrey areas
Yo soy purepecha my parents and grandparents and great grandparents are from michoacan and have Purepecha blood
Likewise tell me more!
@@NotoriousTorres we are one of the few tribes that never got conquered by the Aztecs and the ones who invented corn also were the only mesoamerican culture to use metal and trade metal weapons Purepecha people are amongst the best in copper smithing and had a complex building technique the dialect is unlike others in Mexico some say we came from the Zuni tribe others from the Inca wee are known as the star people for that very reason
@swiggity swooty not everyone but a majority of mestizos are my dads mom was and so were her parents my moms mom as well and her parents and my grand father on my moms side is also a majority of the indigenous population lost their identity and will just say they’re Mexican
@swiggity swooty look up copper smithing they were experts in that also cultivated corn and learned how to make metal tools with copper search them up on google they have a lot of info there
Purhepechas eat lots of wild mushrooms. Many of them are delicious!. There is a small town where they have a mushroom featival like. People cook a variety of mushrooms base dishes that visitors can buy and enjoy. The name of the town is Yuriscopio or something like that. The town have very difficult names to pronounce!.
I am happy I across this channel as these comments are informative too. I was born in Los Reyes Michoacán, Mexico I was brought to the USA at age 5 met my parents for the first time as i was being raised by my grandparents from my dads side. They my grand parents the ones alive now have no knowledge or forgot name of tribes /language so I am doing the best I can to trace as much as I can it is a challenge but I will continue to do research as I want to truly connect to my roots to relearned what was forgotten. Thank you everyone for your comments I loved readying them and if you have any info or guidance for me please share. Thanks
Thank you very much for stopping by on your journey. Best of luck with your research.
The story at 10:00... The same thing appeared to my moms uncle one day in southern México when he was sent by my great grandma to gather leña ( fire wood) but he was lazy and slept on this rock leaning on it. So it appeared to him and chased him. He told everyone else that it floated and screamed and no matter how fast he ran it kept up with him.
Thanks for sharing this.
Happened around the capital in the 1930s 1940s
Interesting, my dad has a very similar story but he grew up 20-30 years later!
I was about 8 to 9 years old in Sahauyo, Mexico. If im not mistaken i believe this tribe ruled that area. Anyways, its where my father's side of the family is from and we carry their blood. To make the story short, i couldnt sleep for some reason and i was drawn to look outside. It was outside on a wall that i saw the shadows of Native Americans dancing around a fire (the fire had a shadow too, which is not normal) and i could hear faint music and singing. I never felt scared or anything similar. Almost felt like it was calling me...
Just my little story.
Thanks for stopping by and for sharing the story. You might have been looking through a "thin area" into the past. Who knows?
@@mexicounexplained That would have been cool. Kinda wish i would have walked out to it.
@@mexicounexplained Great work on the video too btw. Very informative!
Had you walked out into it, well, maybe you wouldn't be here typing this right now! Thanks for the compliments on the video.
@@mexicounexplained What about storys of people doing ayahuasca or DMT in the holy sites in mexico? Can you do a video on those, heard they are very interesting.
I am a proud descendant of the tarascan people.
Welcome to Mexico Unexplained
Purepecha, not tarasco
Tarasco is a way of insult
Los purepechas use it to refer to the Spaniards
@@mr.arreola1078 My Bad it's just that my parents call it that.
@@talaverajr391 Sus.
@@mr.arreola1078 you are so dumb tarasco is not an insult!!!!!
Hello my friend, as always, much respect and appreciation for all your awesome work. Thank you 😊
my parents are from cocucho michocuan which is where they speak the language purepecha and i have visited where they grew up and i love it and yes i know and understand the language 😂🔥🥰🥰
Once again
Im looking for information!
And once again
You always have it!!!!
I appreciate the work you did
Thank you✊
My pleasure!

Still miss your content ✊
@@Chris-from-AZ Well, there's a lot to catch up on.
@@mexicounexplained
I was looking for tribes that come from cuencame de ceniceros. As far as I could trace back of my family tree was 1684.
Tepehuanes, Irritila, Zacatecos and the Tarahumara are all in the region I believe. So I was trying to look for any information. I don't know if you have anything on your page
@@Chris-from-AZ What about your European part? Are you going to ignore that?
My family is from Cheran Michoacán a purepecha community where they got rid of the cartels and are automous from the government I never was taught purepecha but my family do speak it and I’m planning to learn once I go back to my parents home town
You know, I would love to do a show on that community. I heard about it when I was down in Michoacan back in 2015. I think you should go back and immerse yourself. It will be great for your soul.
@@mexicounexplained Yes you should do one soon the story of how the town got their autonomy is inspirational many others indigenous communities are doing what Cheran has done, and yes I would love to go back and visit family and teach me more about ourselves and ancestors I only know a handful amount.
You know what, I am going to make this the subject of next week's show. I want to learn more and I want to share the story with the (English-speaking) world. Thank you for putting this idea in my head. Andale pues...
@@mexicounexplained thank you very much hermano, people need to know the strength of purepecha people of Cheran, thank you for considering this I appreciate it very much and I’m proud that my family and my roots are from there. JUCHARI UINAPIKUA
I'm currently a little more than halfway done editing the Cheran show. Thanks again for putting the idea in my head. I really enjoyed researching this one. The show should be out in the 12:00 hour tomorrow, California Time. I hope to see you in the comments section.
Tarascan? .......Really, Robert? Smh
It's P'urhepecha. Come on, Robert. You know better lol
Yes, I do know better. Shame on me. :-) I hope you liked the presentation. It was hard for me to pronounce the names, but I did my best and my heart was in the right place.
They are Purepechas but we also call them Tarascans. Tarascans sounds better lol.
@@donguadalucio1405 It's equivalent to calling an Inuit, an Eskimo. It's considered derogatory.
@@goosemcsausagejr4471 Wow I didn't know that. I have family from Michoacán and they always called them Tarascan. Good to know.
Tarasco is the name the Spanish called us. The correct term is Purepecha.
Alchemical written everywhere on this one guys! Premium, -content, on point, honest & exhaustive. Truly amazing.
Glad you enjoy it. Thank you!
Uruapan, Michoacán💚
Both of my parents are purepecha ❤️❤️
I'm looking to get some purepecha stone like artifacts tattooed.. can anybody guide me in the right direction on any art or artifacts I can use for these tattoos? Would hate to settle for Aztec art when my family is from Michoacán it would be MUCH appreciated!!
Same here cant find any ideas , we never had a written language .my good friend of mine has aztec tattoo even though he was from Michoacan .
You gotta fight him now.
@Jose Calderon born again Tarímbaro like 30minutes out from Morelia
@@Cyberbanditmx it's very frustrating. I guess I'll just have to travel out there and discover for myself. I know it's gonna be very similar to Aztec culture but I want to stay as true and authentic to my roots, worth the wait🤷🏻♀️
@@lexiv.7227 don't get Aztec symbols, they were the enemy of the purepecha. Their capital was named after hummingbirds, if that helps. Tzintzuntzan.
You deserve more subs
I agree!
That's a beautiful leyenda, thanks Robert
Thanks for listening
Thank for sharing this beautiful information
Thanks for visiting
I don’t know if I am Tarascan but, I was born in Michoacán
Well first off, we are called Purépecha. Tarascan was used as a slur against us by the Spanish. And if you want to find out how indigenous you are and from what tribe because there is multiple in Mich, I suggest asking your parents, grandparents, or even better grandparents :)
@@ranch_bird5569 its not that easy, my grandparents except from my grandmother from my dads side have passed away. I was born in Morelia but i know my dad came from another part of michoacan, but I cant remember where. Many families relocated and it's very difficult to find any records from the past.
@@MrSlip310 well I’m very sorry for your losses. I wasn’t trying to be rude I was just saying that’s the best way. I mean my great grandparents are dead so i couldn’t ask them either :/. I just asked my mom because she actually grew up around it because her great grandfather was purépecha and would play their music around the house so she was able to teach me and inform me on the culture. I don’t know what you can do I’m sorry. I’m assuming your parents don’t know. Keep in mind it’s possible you don’t really have much indigenous blood in you which is okay. Our people were colonized by the Europeans. They r4ped and took our women and children. But we are still here. So you most definitely have it in your blood could be a lot could be a little but it’s there but you may not be from the Purépecha tribe. DNA tests won’t necessarily work either. Yes it will say you have this much indigenous blood but it won’t tell you from what tribe. I’m sorry I can’t help much
Hey man. No hard feelings about the argument a few months ago. I see you on my friends videos commenting and you're doing good work.
Thank you for reaching out. Never any hard feelings from me. In fact, I have so many discussions with people, I am having a hard time remembering what we even talked about (but I do remember your name). Where have you seen me? On Matt's channel?
@@mexicounexplained umm I cant remember his real name now I shouldn't do this and drive lol Las vegas carnivore channel maybe?
@@OliveMule Yes, you shouldn't do this and drive. :-) I've posted on that guy's channel but I can't remember saying anything too "deep" or philosophical. In any event, there are no hard feelings on my end and you are welcome to post on my channel anytime. Take care.
@@mexicounexplained respect. Colombian to Mexican
Both sides of my family and I were born in cuanajo michoacan were Purepecha, my grandparents tells me stories of their grandparents and ancestors that were passed down and speak to me in purepecha I don't speak it but I understand it, I'm in the process of speaking it
Same here but I’m from Cheran
My people are from Zacapù, Mich. Mx
Tangancícuaro, Michoacan ❤️
Muy bienvenido.
My grandmother was Tarasco
I'm from de center of Michoacán. The lake is Yunuén. Growing up I learned that the spaniards called the P'urhepechas
I was born in Michoacan. I took a DNA test and I am 62% Purhépecha. Its cool how the aztecs where trying to invade the purhépecha empire but could not and kept getting their ass kicked and dominated by the purhépechas. Its wild to think that even amongst the natives in Mexico they all have a different genetic makeup and the DNA test could pin point and trace my genetics exactly to the purhépechas and not the aztecs. Almost if like they where a different race. Growing up Chicago I never had a chance to learn about non of this now I am super excited to keep learning more!
Well, it's like making the differentiation between French and Spanish DNA. Those peoples border each other, but are distinct. As far as the Purepecha go, they are somewhat of a mystery because they are a linguistic isolate and no one knows exactly where they came from. Some theorize they came up from South America as refugees skirting along the coast until they made permanent landfall in Mexico. When I was a student in Mexico I lived in Morelia and I've been going back to Michoachan over the last 25 years for my business. You should be rightfully proud to be from such a place. I miss it. Welcome to the channel and thanks for your comments.
We won a damn war against the Mexica! Lesgo 💪🏽🤙🏽
Thanks for this.
My pleasure! Thanks for stopping by.
I'm Tarascan on my dads side great vid
I just found my father & learned he is P'urhepecha. I'm eager to learn about my culture. Thank you for making this video💞
Thank you for stopping by on your journey of self-discovery. I have other Purepecha shows, too. There's lots of information out there for you.
Im Purechechas/ Tarascos. There are two types of Purepechas. The language in each tribe is different. One Purepecha talk with a English accent. The other purepechas talk "normal" pure because they ran away from English people. We never got concurred fro. Aztecs. We are Indigenous. Our tribe doesn't allow outsiders into our tribe or home. I ran away since I was 16. Tribes can be repulsive if u don't follow the rules.
Thanks for your comments.
Ana b3ll im oglala lakota and i love your people their so supersticius and have warrior lineage
They never fought the English they fought the Spaniards
Even and especially the ancients were able to easily observe both solar and lunar cycles and see that eclipses have nothing to do with the lunar & solar bodies crossing paths.
GREAT.
Interesting, my dad is full blooded Perpetua, and my mom is 3 quarters Hispanic and a quarter Aztec. My dad never wanted me to learn Spanish because the Spaniards invaded Mexico and its not his native language.
My dad also said we are from hebrew descendants. Came from ships of far away.

In Search Of..” Intro, right on!! 😉👍🏼
Out of the 100,000+ views on my channel, you are the THIRD person to catch that. Good one. It was my understated tip of the hat to the show, which I loved as a little boy. It was always on at 4:30 on Saturday afternoons on KOB-TV4 in Albuquerque. Fond memories. :-)
Mexico Unexplained
Hah! I couldn’t agree more, that was my fav show growing up as a kid. and set the tone for many of the interests i still have today.. when i watched the reruns it was also 4:30 but on old a&e.. that was during the 90’s.. blessings to Leonard Nimoy Rest In Peace 🙏🏽✌🏽
We defeated Aztecs many times 😌✌
Prove it !!! 🤣👎
I heard many things about us Purépecha and saved much of there identity and culture I wonder if they came from Chichimec, chibcha or Andean native wonder were we come from and if your family is from Michoacán which mine is from northern Michoacán I wonder if your Purépecha and Chichimec
@Swagilicous LEWIE
Both. We are a mix of chichimec with natives of south america
Did not know much about this tribe or clan or group or pack
I’m from Tacámbaro Michoacan, were my ancestors purepechas? I really want to know more about my history. Someone please tell me more.
I'd say the likelihood of your ancestors being Purepecha is close to 100%.
Mexico Unexplained really? that’s so amazing. do you have any other information about Tacámbaro and tecario in relation to purepechas? where can I learn more about my history. And my last names I want to know my Indian last name I have spanish last names
Both of those towns have Purepecha names, so they were most likely founded by them. Do a deep internet search. I am sure there is plenty of information about those places out there. To know your "Indian name" you would probably have to go back 500 years and this would be impossible. "Fugiwara" sounds Japanese to me, not Spanish.
@@jennifereunicecornejovaldo9248 Lol tarascan trash
Mexico Unexplained thank you for the info. my last names are cornejo Valdovinos not fujiwara
Wtf???? They're not Tarascan. They're P'urhépechas.
I'm speaking English.
Purepecha not Tarascan. Tarascan is a spanish name we are Purepecha.
Golly gee.. I had no idea

@@mexicounexplained thx have a good day/night!💚🤍❤️
i am descendants of these people
Do you know of any symbols or patterns used by these people. I’m researching my heritage and where my blood line comes from and I tracked it all the way back to Michoacán, I want to get a tattoo to show appreciation and to tell a story. I would love it if you could contact me with symbols or patterns used by these people!
There are beautiful geometric designs on pottery that would make wonderful tattoos. Just search "Tarascan Pottery" or "Purepecha Pottery" and you can come up with some images. Let your heart guide you the rest of the way.
@@mexicounexplained thank you!
Tarascos please tarascan sounds like a tribe from Arizona or something my grandfather father was full blood went to climb the left over of the pyramid they had cool video
I can never win on this issue. I use "Tarascan" because I am speaking English in my videos and that is the English language term for those people.
My family ignored their culture ☹️ I wish I knew the language
You can learn it. There are still many, many speakers.
Tarasco efectibo
Could you possibly spell out names from princess etc? thank you in advance!
There's a transcript of the show at mexiocunexplained.com. All the spellings are there.

no son Mexican American estas en un solo continente y naciste en este continente somos americanos de nacimiento y bueno Mexicanos por el país pero nos ubicamos en el continente Americano y si los Europeos nos invadieron pera robar todo el Tesoro que nuestro continente tenía y sigue teniendo los españoles son los quisieron acabar con nosotros los purepechas pero no pudieron todavía seguimos .
we are decedents of the great Thoth, Enki was our God Not Enlil
100% purepecha
You really should change the title to the P’urhépecha people’s, Spanish people took enough from us.… otherwise great video!
I haven't read through this comments section in a while, but I'm sure I already stated that I am using the English name for these people so that people will know who I am talking about.
Por qué no lo traducen en español.... español más comprendido?
If I had half my subscribers just donate $1 to me, I would translate all my shows into Spanish. I do Mexico Unexplained as a part-time project. Also, I bring these stories to the English-speaking world, sometimes for the very first time. Doing everything in English is my emphasis for now, as I do this with what little time I have, giving it all away for free.

Conquest. There are hundreds of thousands of Tarascans still living in Mexico, many of them still speaking their native language and living a traditional lifestyle. So, no genocide. Far from it.
@@mexicounexplained the only people i love about Mexico are thier indigenous peoples, the colonial spanish history is disgusting and all the mess the spaniards Made in mesoamerica Is a crime against the humanity for me, i have a deep love for the indigenous peoples that live in the mexico area, i love your Channel from morocco. The aztec cities were superior to any spanish buildings.
