I'm mexican and here stablish a lot of cultures, just to list a few that come to my mind:

Teotihuacan
Aztec
Maya
Totonaca
Tlaxcalteca
Olmecs
Mazahuas
Chichimecas

and another 10 or 20

So is very difficult to say where's your blood from, besides we are mixed with the spanions so... The fact of going to the musseum wouldnt tell you where are you from.

Aztecs, Mayans, and 79 other tribes are indigenous to Mexico.

Mayans settled in southern Mexico and Guatemala. There is also a smaller population in South America. The Aztecs settled around Mexico City.

To answer your question, you would need to have an idea of the general region where your family originated. Then go to this map:

You can keep clicking it to enlarge it. The map comes from a book.

There is a huge exhibit on the 2nd floor of the Anthropology Museum in Mexico City of many of the different tribes. It shows much of their culture including dress. There is map their which shows where the tribes originated. Fascinating!!!!
