Acolhua

The Acolhua were an Indigenous people from central Mexico, primarily associated with the region around Lake Texcoco, where they were part of the larger cultural and political landscape that included the Aztec Empire. They were known for their agricultural practices, skilled crafts, and contributions to Mesoamerican society, including a rich tradition in poetry and art. The Acolhua are often recognized for their capital city, Texcoco, which was a center of learning and culture during the height of Mesoamerican civilization, especially under the rule of Nezahualcóyotl in the 15th century. Their legacy remains significant in Mexican history.
