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.
