Mixtec people are a group of people who live in Mexico. They have been living there for a very long time, even before the Spanish came to Mexico. Mixtec people have their own language, called Mixtec, and they have their own traditions and culture.
Mixtec people were very good at making things out of gold, silver, and other metals. They also had a lot of knowledge about agriculture, which is how they grew crops for food. They built houses out of adobe, which is a type of mud.
In the past, Mixtec people had their own government and leaders called caciques who ruled over their communities. However, when the Spanish came to Mexico, they brought their own government and leaders. This caused a lot of conflict and many Mixtec people were forced to work for the Spanish.
Nowadays, Mixtec people still live in Mexico and some have moved to other countries. They are still proud of their culture and traditions and have worked hard to preserve them. They also continue to make beautiful art and crafts, such as embroidery and pottery, which are valued around the world.
