Mayans were one of the earliest Native American civilizations. When the Mexica arrived (who are also native americans), their territories traded with each other. There had also been significant cultural exchanges between the Maya and the Toltecs (Chichen Itza, etc). In precolumbian times many people were multilingual, fluent in both Maya and Nahuatl(mexican) languages. Same with Zapotec, Mixtec, etc. Malinche was a famous bilingual Mexica woman. A "malinche" today is known by Mexicans as the whore who sold out their people and reduced them to their current impoverished state.

But as a base, Mexicans are an indigenous group. The Mexicas, which ended up enveloping many other smaller groups. Mexicans as an ethnicity are Native Americans.
