Political Relations between Nahuas and Tének Chichimecas Groups in the Epiclassic and Postclassic of Mesoamerica
Abstract
The present work has the purpose of analyzing the pre-Hispanic relations existing between Nahua and Tének Chichimeca groups during the Postclassic period of Mesoamerica (900 - 1521 A.D.). To do this, the research is based on the examination of archaeological evidence of religious political speeches (sculptures), but also in written and pictographic documents from the 16th century. The purpose is to understand these power relations, in order to determine whether or not there could be an identity shared between groups of the Northern border of Mesoamerica, and in turn, if it could influence the historical evolution of these societies by consolidating the domain Mexica, towards the end of the 15th century.
