Sainapuchi

Sainápuchi, also recorded as Sainapos, was a Tarahumara settlement in the uplands west of Chihuahua. In 1694 it was listed as a visita, or dependent mission village, of Santa Isabel, on a route that also passed through San Andrés. Missionary work there had only recently begun, and the village was reported to contain forty Indigenous families. It later came under the mission of San Andrés, part of the network of Franciscan communities in the northern Sierra Madre foothills.
