Mexico didn’t exist back then. Europeans hadn’t conquered and genocided and created states in the Americas.
This was native (indigenous) americans. Nearly 10’000 years before the word Mexico was first uttered.

there was never a Aztec people that was the name someone made up. The [Mexica] (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztecs) people are the ones you are talking about.

I don’t know where exactly maize was cultivated, but Mexico comes from city Mexico-Tenochtitlan.
They found millenia old traces of maize in the valley of the Rio Balsa in Xihuatoxtla and also in the valley of Tehuacán.
Something about Coxcatlán phase. Couldn’t find a name of a people who would have been responsible for the domestication.
It’s easiest to say it happened in Mesoamerica.

indigeneity and nationality are two different concepts that have nothing to do with each other.
this can range from indigenous Oaxacans who are US citizens to Mexican citizens who are settlers who murder indigenous people in Mexico to steal their land.
