Guamar

The Guamar were a Chichimeca people centered in the mountains of Guanajuato, in present-day Mexico. The White Chichimecas lived between Jalostotitlán and Aguascalientes and painted their heads white. From 1550 to 1590 the Guamar joined other Chichimeca groups in war against Spanish settlers and their Indigenous allies. The Spanish sought peace through goods and land grants.
