Francisco Tenamaztle mexican military Language Download in PDF Look out Edit Tenamaxtli, Tenamaxtle, Tenamaztle, also named by the Spanish Francisco Tenamaztle or Francisco Tenamaxtli, was an indigenous Caxcán warrior, son of the lord of Nochistlan and one of the main leaders of the rebellion known as the Mixtón War that occurred during 1541 and 1542. War events took place in Nueva Galicia to the northwest of New Spain, mainly in the territories occupied by the Mexican states of Nayarit, Jalisco and Zacatecas. Alonso de Molina pointed out that Tenamaztli or Tenamatzin means "stones on which the pot is put on the fire"[3] Once the war and the guerrilla era ended, he carried out a continuous defense of the rights of the natural inhabitants of the towns -pueblos indigenous or original peoples-, before the Spanish institutions, for which reason he is considered a precursor and defender of human rights. He was sent to Spain in 1552 to stand trial. He lived in the city of Valladolid, where he fell ill and died in 1556
