The Zacatecos Indians
The Zacatecos Indians occupied much of
what is now western and northern
Zacatecas, as well as Aguascalientes,
southern Coahuila and eastern Durango as
far west as the City of Durango.
As indicated by the map on this page, the
lands of the Zacatecos Indians bordered
with those of the Tepehuanes on the west,
the Guachichiles on the east and the
Caxcanes and Tecuexes on the south. It is
believed that the Zacatecos were named by
Náhuatl speakers after the tall grasslands
(Zacatlán, "place of grass") they inhabited.
The Zacatecos were believed to be related
to the Caxcanes tribe that lived on their
southern border and have been classified
within the Uto-Aztecan Language family.
