Tecuexe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tecuexe were an indigenous group found in the eastern part of present day Guadalajara, Mexico. It is believed that they derived from the dispersion of Zacateco groups from La Quemada. Like the Zacatecos, the Tecuexe were a tribe belonging to the Chichimeca nation. It is known that they established next to rivers which they took to their advantage to grow beans and corn. They were also expert artisans, carpenters and musicians. Toribio de Benavente Motolinia wrote "in any place… all know to work a stone, to make a house simple, to twist a cord and a rope, and the other sotiles offices that nondemand instruments or much art."
They were one of many tribes who fought under tenamaxtli in the mixton rebellion (1540-41) Unfortunately they no longer exist as a cultural group
