Tepehua_people
The Tepehuas are an indigenous people of Mexico whose name means in Nahuatl, "people of the mountain", although they refer to themselves without a term or name that encompasses a supposed ethnic group. They also use endoethnonyms that originate in Spanish-influenced Nahuatl:[2]
- masipijní: the Tepehua people
- hamasipiní: who lives on a hill
- hamasip: owners of hills
They mainly live in the three Mexican states of Hidalgo, Veracruz and Puebla.[3] The Tepehuas extend over a wide range of high settlements, between 240 and 820 metres (790 and 2,690 ft).[4][5]
