Atitlan

Atitlan was a Mixe mountain town in the Sierra Mixe of northern Oaxaca, a Midland Mixe community between the Choapam highlands and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Like all the Mixe, it was never subdued by the Zapotec kingdom of Zaachila or the Aztec Empire, and Spanish arms failed; Dominican friars made the first contact only in 1555.
