Oxtlipan

Oxtlipan, also rendered Oxitipan, was the head of a tributary province in the northern Huasteca. The Codex Mendoza preserves its place among the territories subject to the Triple Alliance. Archaeologists have proposed that the site of Tanute in the Huasteca of San Luis Potosí may have been its centre. The province formed part of a network of Huastec communities extending from the Sierra toward the Gulf coastal plain.
