Tlaxcaltecas en el Chichimeca

["Arturo Ramos" <arturo.ramos2@...>]

Does anybody have any information on the forced immigration of 
Tlaxcaltec Indios to the Chichimeca regions of Colotlan, San Luis 
Potosi and Chalchichuites in 1591?  The involuntary migration was 
organized by a certain Rodrigo del Rio in order to bring pacified 
settlers to promising mining areas where the Spanish were to that date 
unable to pacify the local Indios.

These were appartently a large percentage of the original settlers in 
both Colotlan and Totatiche, Jalisco.
