Mixtec City-States (Ñuu Dzaui)

900 – 1521
City-stateNorth America

A mosaic of mountain kingdoms whose dynasties are recorded in painted deerskin codices, masters of gold filigree and the mosaic-fretwork palaces of Mitla.

Fragmented but resilient, the Mixtec ñuu were pulled into Aztec tribute networks and then conquered by Spain by 1521, though Mixtec communities and language endure today.
