Cuanales

The Cuanales were among the Indigenous peoples of the dry valleys of northeastern Mexico. Historical accounts place them near Salinas and Marín, in country north of the mountains around Monterrey. The Salinas River itself was long known by the name of Cuanales. Their neighbors included the Aiguales, while Alazapa and other groups lived farther north toward Lampazos. These were distinct communities of a region later crossed by the settlements and missions of Nuevo León.
