Comment
It´s shameful that an article have in it moral opinions about ruthlesness or use expresions like ravaged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.50.244.53 (talk) 11:13, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Purépecha
Why not call them Purépecha? That is what they prefer. My friends in Michoacan never refer to them as "Tarascan" but solely as "Purépecha." Shouta 04:27, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I couldn't agree more. Eskimos are called inuits these days, bushmen are called san and laps are called sami. Purépecha it is! Osopolar 22:33, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Since it seems ass like everyone agrees that the name should be changed, I shall move the entry to a new one called P'urhépecha, using the spelling used on the P'urhépecha website http://www.xiranhua.com/index.htm --mexicatl 13:01, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

That's great. I almost forgot about this, but I'm glad to see the change. 翔太 「Shouta:talk」 06:49, 4 July 2006 (UTC) ata buroer cha ku nice day yall learn tarasko

Now in the USA too
Not sure of the history but I have met them here in the USA. They still speak the language at home, plus Spanish and some English. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.193.144.79 (talk) 06:55, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Alex Meraz is a famous one, an actor, he was in the New Moon movie: the Twilight series!

"See also"
At the bottom there are three links given under "see also"; for the following two the reason for their inclusion is unclear:


 * Erendira
 * James Anaya, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

There seems to be no mention of the Purépecha in the corresponding articles. If we can't come up with a connection they should be deleted. 850 C (talk) 22:18, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

they what now?
This sentence appears to have lost some context:
 * The Spanish took it as their name, for reasons that have been attributed to different, mostly legendary, stories.

Took what as whose name? —Tamfang (talk) 22:34, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Were?
Why is the whole article in past tense? These people are still around, as shown by the population figures and the fact that we can point to at least one currently working Hollywood actor who is one. Not to mention the fact that they still speak their own language. 96.239.83.63 (talk) 16:07, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Meaning of "Purépecha"
To add to this article: what is the literal meaning of "Purépecha" in the Purépecha language? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 10:16, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
