"Culture" seems a good idea. I was considering whether "associated
peoples" might be better than "inhabited by" - with a constraint to
make it clear that values had to be an instance of a nationality,
ethnic group, population, etc., rather than individuals. It seems to
overlap a bit with "culture".
This would let us have "countries" like:
* Aztec empire : associated peoples : Mexica (and others)
* France : associated peoples : French people
but also could be used for both historic & contemporary cultural
concepts/objects/sites/etc:
* Armenian dance : associated peoples : Armenian people
* Sutton Hoo : associated peoples : Anglo-Saxons
* Highland dress : associated peoples : Scottish people
Unlike the culture idea, it wouldn't be implicitly "dominant culture".
This may or many not be a good thing :-)

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.

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?
