Uza

Úza is the name of the language of the Chichimeca Jonaz, a people of the northeastern Guanajuato and Sierra Gorda frontier. Sixteenth-century accounts place Jonaz groups in the Tolimán region, where indigenous resistance accompanied Spanish expansion. San Luis de la Paz was founded in 1552 in this contested country. The Jonaz are among the peoples whose history preserves the long struggle over the northern frontier of New Spain.
