Yutonahua

The Yuto-Nahua group gathers the peoples of the Uto-Aztecan language family in northern and western Mexico and the American Southwest: the Cuachichil, Zacatec and Caxcan of the central plateau, the Tepehuan, Yaqui and Raramuri of the northwest, and the Hopi of Arizona.

The Caxcan rose against the Spanish in the Mixton War of 1540 to 1542, and the Chichimeca War of 1550 to 1600 was the longest and costliest Spanish campaign on this frontier. The Yaqui, met by Diego de Guzmán in 1533, numbered some 30,000 in 80 villages and beat the Spanish in 1608. The Tepehuan rose in 1616 and were crushed by 1620.
