Thanks for your responses, Andrew and Lawrence. What are thoughts about a new property (e.g. "ruled by" or "governed by") that expresses this sentiment?
Please advise, James Weaver

Hi James,
This is quite similar to my proposal for a "culture" property [1], which would be used e.g. for Tenochtitlan [Q13695] has "culture" Mexica [Q3307681] (and probably also has culture Aztec [Q12542]). You could potentially extend the usage of this attribute so that you could have the "culture" of the Aztec Empire set to Mexica.
I agree with Andrew that "inhabited by" is a property that needs adding - though in this case, it wouldn't indicate that Mexica were rulers of the Aztec Empire, just that they lived in it.
Thanks, Lawrence

Hi James,
Interesting question, this one. There's no easy way to link, eg,
"France" and "French people".
We have a property for "category of associated people" (P1792), so:
France [P1792] Category:French people; & in turn that has a
"category's main topic": Category:French people [P301] French people -
but this is very convoluted!
I wonder if this might be something looking for a suitable new
property - "inhabited by"? "associated nationality"?. Alternatively,
we could use P17, "country", on the item for the population group -
this is a bit generic, but it would work.
Andrew.

I want to add relationships between Mexica :Q3307681and Aztec Empire
:Q794210 [1] where Mexicas were an indigenous people of the Valley of
Mexico, known today as the rulers of the Aztec empire. I haven't found
any properties that seem appropriate to me so I'd like to get your
insight before adding any. What properties would be most appropriate?
