Tepehuán (Ódami & O'dam)

1300 – 1618
Native nationNorth America

The people who held the long eastern flank of the Sierra Madre Occidental — and who in 1616 rose behind the prophet Quautlatas to burn the missions and mines of Nueva Vizcaya to the gates of Durango.

Not an ending: the revolt was crushed by 1618, but Tepehuán who reached the high sierra kept their language and identity, and Ódami and O'dam communities remain today, most densely in the Mezquital district of Durango.
