Sentispac

Sentispac was a lordship of the Nayarit coastal lowlands, close to rivers and the Pacific. Sixteenth-century accounts describe a territory with many subject settlements and plentiful fishing. In 1530 Nuño de Guzmán’s expedition crossed the Santiago River into this country during its advance northward. Sentispac later remained associated with the production of salt, an important resource of the coastal lagoons and flats.
