Abstract


In 1582 the town of Tecomatlan attempted to prove its independence from the most important and powerful lordship of the Mixteca Alta: Yanhuitlan. According to the Tecomatlan autority, this town had had its own “cacique” y “señor natural” since prehispanic times. Tecomatlan denied the roll of Yanhuitlan as “cabecera” or colonial administrative center due to colonial reorganization after to the Spanish Conquest.
