The method
Mexican by name.
American by history.
Made by a Mexican is a daily, ~60-second channel of jaw-dropping, rigorously sourced Latino & Indigenous history across the Americas. This site is the citable record behind every video.
Accuracy is the product. A claim that can't be sourced doesn't ship. Correcting an inflated myth is more credible, and more shareable, than repeating hype. Engagement serves the truth, never the reverse.
How every episode is checked
Before a single frame is generated, each episode runs through adversarial verification. Every surprising claim needs two independent, reputable sources. We name the specific nation - Mexica, Caral-Supe, Chinchorro, Taíno - never just "Latino." And we label the region and era on every motif.
When the sources disagree, we say so on the page. That's what the confidence labels mean:
- Solid - well-established, multiple reputable sources in agreement.
- Contested - real scholarly debate; we present it as debate, never as settled.
- Myth-corrected - a popular claim the evidence actually walks back. The "actually…" episodes.
What this site is - and isn't
Each episode is one post: the hook, the story in plain English, the YouTube Short, and the full sources table. It's the receipts. It is not a video host - the videos live on YouTube - and it's not a place we'll ever quietly reword a sourced claim to make it louder.
