The Purepecha people, also known as the Tarascans, have a rich history dating back to pre-Columbian times in the region of present-day Michoacán, Mexico. They built a sophisticated civilization with urban centers, a powerful economy based on agriculture and trade, and complex social and religious structures.
Despite facing challenges such as the Spanish conquest and colonial rule, the Purepecha have maintained their cultural identity, language, and traditions into modern times, contributing significantly to Mexican heritage and history.
