Baopapas

The Baopapas were among the Indigenous communities associated with the Concho peoples of northern Mexico. Their name appears with those of the Cacalotito, Guiaquitas and other groups in accounts of the region between the Río Conchos and the desert basins. In testimony recorded in 1684, a Concho leader named the Baopapas among the communities he had led. These peoples lived in a frontier increasingly affected by Spanish missions, mining settlements and military campaigns.
