Huastec (Téenek)

900 – 1521
City-stateNorth America

Maya-speaking northern outliers of the Gulf lowlands, known for conical temples, shell ornament and sandstone sculptures of life and death along the Pánuco rivers.

A patchwork of independent chiefdoms raided by the Aztec for slaves, the Huasteca was overrun by Spanish expeditions in the 1520s; the Téenek persist in San Luis Potosí and Veracruz.
