Mayans
The Mayan civilization was spread through what is now Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize, western Honduras, and the southern regions of Mexico. The Mayans are well known for creating the only fully developed written language of pre-Columbian Americas. The Mayans were at the height of their civilization from about 300 to 900 AD, although there are still Mayans today in certain areas of Guatemala and Mexico.

Important to who? The Aztecs probably would have thought your calendar was pretty unimportant. The Aztecs themselves considered their calendar extremely important, because it documented the cycles of the world and the powers of the gods.
Non-Aztecs consider the Aztec calendar important because it was very sophisticated and accurate for a non-modern society. Accurate in the sense that it kept good time, not in the sense that it made accurate "predictions".
