The Zapotec civilization pre-dates the Aztecs and Maya and were the first to develop a writing system in Mexico.

Benito Juarez, President of Mexico during their revolution, was Zapotec.

The Zapotec people are still around today and a large number still speak their ancient language. A large number moved to LA and another group in New Jersey, but they're all over the US.

How many are "pure Zapotec" vs a blend of Spanish/Aztec/Mayan/Tlaxcalan/Cempoaloan/Texcocan? Is it a genetically identifiable trait or just cultural?
