The usually grumpy lady at La Michoacana Purépecha was visibly relieved and happy to see us. The place was completely empty. We ordered extra paletas to go.

The Purépecha are an indigenous people centered in the highlands of Michoacán, Mexico, historically renowned for successfully resisting the Aztec Empire and mastering early bronze and copper metallurgy. Formed a powerful pre-Columbian state around Lake Pátzcuaro. Defeated the Aztecs in the 1470s and maintained independence until Spanish forces arrived in the 1530s. Built distinct stepped pyramids known as yácatas. Language is Purépecha (historically called Tarascan), an isolate language not clearly related to surrounding Mesoamerican tongues. Traditional arts include advanced metalwork, distinctive woodcraft, and pottery deeply tied to festivals like the Day of the Dead. Traditional religious beliefs centered on deities like Kurikaweri (sky and war god) and Kwerawáperi (earth mother), which blended with Roman Catholicism over time. Most members live in Michoacán, with vibrant populations in towns like Cherán, Paracho, and Pátzcuaro. Growing diaspora communities exist across the United States and Mexican urban centers due to agricultural migration and economic shifts.

Otro dibujo de Arameni, me gusta este Oc porque soy fan de la cultura purépecha, pero me sigue sin convencer, creo que le falta algo, quizá una mejor pose, es lo que más me gusta de dibujar, las poses

The Guerreros de La Villita sculpture was rescued in 1966–1967 from El Pochote, Guerrero, Mexico before a dam flooded the site. Dating to 1300–1500 CE, these ceramic warriors reflect a volatile border zone fiercely contested between the Aztec and Purépecha empires.

the Aztec stereotype of the Purepecha was that they were sharp merchants and competent craftsmen with giant dicks who fought wars unfairly (with organized units which used ranged weapons and actually attempted to kill you). also they were funny. all of this was derogatory, by the way.
