Hi - I'm sure many of us do. On my mom's side from Ayo El Chico, and Aguascalientes I did find some parish records where "Indio" and "mulatto" were used to describe several of my ancestors as I went further back in time. One ancestor was described as 'mulatto libre'.
I understand that there is information out there which maps DNA to tribes in Mexico but I haven't had time to look that information up. I hope to do some more research on that because I can use it in my future studies at school (CSULB).

Do any of you have any indigenous ancestry? My grandfather on my mom's side is from the Huichole Indians in the Huejuquilla, Jalisco area.
Here is a website of the indigenous Huicholes:
