Help with Signature on etch/print 3 Native American Women

My entry into the world of indigenous peoples under discussion would be through the artifacts/clothing, etc they used and wore. I make a distinction between say, an olla or weaving made in New Mexico or one made in Mexico. I also make a distinction between people from the United States and Mexico which is why I mentioned what I did. One is from the United States and one is from Mexico. The girls/women in the litho are Mexican I believe and not the US. In buying and selling artifacts (the litho is an artifact) you have to be more precise and actually name the proper region that the artifact comes from. This is not disrespectful when one points out cultural differences relating to commerce (selling objects from different cultures).

Thank you for the help!

 

I found the exact print I have in the Met collection https://metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/656914


I bought this in New Mexico over the summer so I assumed it was regional to the southwest of the US - guess not.

I believe the Indigenous people of Mexico are commonly called Mexican Indians as a group. I guess all Indigenous people in North & South America are technically "native Americans" but that is certainly not how it is commonly used. And if you are talking about preferences most Indigenous people I know prefer to not be lumped together at all regardless of which country took their lands but want to be referred to by their tribe or nation.
