On Mexico's Pacific Coast, beginning north at Acapulco and continuing southeast for approximately 200 miles in the states of Guerrero and Oaxaca and ending slightly north of Huatulco, is the region known as Costa Chica, the little coast. In this rural, not easily accessible mountainous and rugged coastal region of the country, dotted with agriculture and fishing villages, resides Mexico's most visible African-Mexican or Afromestizo population.

Mexico proudly claims its Mestizo population is one people, derived from Native American and Spanish roots. Yet there is another part of the Mestizo mix thats hidden in plan sight, Mexicos African presence in the population. The African presences has recently been labeled Mexico's third or the forgotten root.

  • BE PROUD OF YOUR AFRICAN ANCESTRY/ROOTS/CULTURE, because it is the RICHEST ON PLANET EARTH.

  • Ajamuj I enjoy it when folks do real research like you did and not just say stuff that they think happened, Great Video

  • @PsyOperative Olmecs are Moors who came to the Americas long before the Europeans and theres know such thing as Indians unless your from India.

  • @Cuauhtemotzin1 Well then fine who are your anthropologist scholars? I mean you are Mexican after all you guys have educated world renowned scholars and anthropologists, please enlighten me?

  • @Cuauhtemotzin1 Anthropologists have debunked nothing.

  • I liked the video up into the part where you put "how ancient is the third root?" that afrocentric nonsense that claims that the olmecas were of african origin has already been debunked by anthropologist/scholars.

  • This is beautiful. Wonderful to know we(of african descent) are everywhere. I actually know one Afro/Mexicano man. Unfortunately, many of them just as us African/Americans don't know or/and not willing to learn or accept.
