History

The Universidad Autónoma Indígena de México (Autonomous Indigenous University of Mexico, UAIM) was founded on December 5, 2001. It evolved from the Institute of Anthropology, also based in Mochicahui and part of the Universidad de Occidente, which had been formed in 1982.[2] It conducted archeological projects, and in the late 1990s, it separated, with Governor Juan S. Millán decreeing the creation of the UAIM as a separate entity. At that time, it had 1,000 students from 15 ethnic groups.[2]

On May 9, 2019, XHMFS-FM 95.7 signed on, making the UAIM the first intercultural university in Mexico to own and operate a radio station.[3]
