indigenous rights

[David Wright]

Ben, Magnus, and any listeros that might be interested:

 

That sounds like an interesting line of inquiry. Here are a couple of texts to get started:

 

Carrillo Cázares, Alberto, “Don Francisco Tenamaztle, tatoán de la provincia de Nochistlán y Xalisco pide cumplimiento de justicia sobre su levantamiento y defensa natural, Consejo de indias, Valladolid, España (1555-1556)”, en La tierra nómada, Andrés Fábregas Puig, Mario Alberto Nájera Espinoza y Cándido González Pérez, editores, Guadalajara/Aguascalientes/Zacatecas/San Luis Potosí/Zamora/Zapopan, Seminario Permanente de Estudios de la Gran Chichimeca/Universidad de Guadalajara/Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes/Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas/El Colegio de San Luis/El Colegio de Michoacán/El Colegio de Jalisco, 2005, pp. 13-36.

 

Weigand, Phil C.; García de Weigand, Acelia, Tenamaxtli y Guaxicar, las raíces profundas de la rebelión de Nueva Galicia, Eduardo Williams, traductor, Zamora/Guadalajara, El Colegio de Michoacán/Secretaría de Cultura de Jalisco, 1996.

 

Saludos,

 

David

Hi Ben

You should look into the story of Don Francisco Tenamaztle, who apparently visited Bartolome de las Casas in Spain to plead for the rights of the Caxcan people who had suffered defeat during the Mixton wars. There are supposedly documents regarding this meeting somewhere in Spain (archivo de las indias in Sevilla?).

best

Magnus
