The Caxcanes and Tecuexes
The Caxcanes Indians occupied portions
of Aguascalientes, southern Zacatecas
and northern Jalisco. Prof. Phil C.
Weigand theorized that the Caxcan
Indians probably originated in the
Chalchihuites area of northwestern
Zacatecas and moved south after 1000
A.D.
Dr. Weigand has also studied the
Tecuexes Indians who occupied a
considerable area of Jalisco north of
Guadalajara and western Los Altos,
including Jalostotitlán, Tepatitilán and
Yahualica, but very little of Zacatecas.
