Mixtecs
were one of the most influential ethnic groups to emerge in Mesoamerica
during the Post-Classic. Never an united nation, the Mixtecs waged
war and forged alliances among themselves as well (AncientScripts.com)
Mixtec
Codices. There are fewer than twenty codices that are written in
a purely native style on bark paper or animal skin. The greatest
number of these are from Oaxaca and are of the Mixtec writing system.
