Tinapihuaya

The Tinapihuaya were an Indigenous people whose name appears in the records of San Francisco Vizarrón de los Pausanes mission in northeastern Coahuila. In 1737 they entered the mission alongside Pausane and Piguique people. The latter groups had been brought from the Texas coastal plain between the Nueces and San Antonio rivers, suggesting that the Tinapihuaya may also have come from that region. Their earlier homeland lay within a network of many distinct communities.
