Cocoyome

The Cocoyome were an Indigenous people of the desert country around the Bolsón de Mapimí, often associated in colonial records with the Toboso. Their communities lived amid the basins and mountain ranges of northern Nueva Vizcaya before Spanish miners and missionaries entered the region. During the conflicts of the late seventeenth century Cocoyome leaders took part in resistance and negotiation. In 1698 some made peace with the Spanish, even as other groups continued to fight across the frontier.
