Tepecan

The Tepecan were an Indigenous people of Azqueltán on the Bolaños River in what is now Jalisco, Mexico. Their language belonged to the Uto-Aztecan family and was closely related to Southern Tepehuán.

According to one account, Tepehuán migrants settled the canyon in the thirteenth or fourteenth century. Spaniards arrived in the area in 1534, and in the eighteenth century Spanish and Tlaxcalan colonists took over Tepehuán lands outside the canyon.
