The Mexica Movement is the name of a separatist group in the United States who assert their ancestry from Indigenous people of North America as the basis for "liberating" the North American continent from European-descent people. Their organization views Mexicans, Central Americans, Native Americans, and Canadian First Nations as one people who are falsely divided by European-imposed borders. The group states that European-descent people have committed massive genocide and occupied the Western Hemisphere since 1492.

Their ultimate objective is the civilized, non-violent, democratic "liberation" of the North American continent from European-descendents. The organization seeks to create a future nation called Anahuac. This nation will be comprised of North and Central America, fused into a single super-state, under the democratic control of Indigenous people. The group possesses a large library of indigenous manuscripts and academic research materials which serve as their inspiration for recreating a future indigenous civilization (independent of European control).

The group views White people as "Europeans" who squat on Indigenous lands. This liberation is expected to take place over multiple generations and involves marshaling massive media and educational resources in order to change the way people understand the history of the continent and its people.

The majority of the group's members were born in the United States. The group rejects the "Aztlan ideology" as being too limited, seeking instead to unite the entire North American continent under indigenous control. The movement also supports the preservation of the U.S. Constitution as a transitional legal framework during the multi-generational process of "liberation.".
