The Tlaxcalan Indians from Tlaxcala, Mexico were crucial to Cortez' victory over the Aztec Empire in 1521.
The Tlaxcalans were awarded "special rights and privileges" by the Spaniards.
Many Tlaxcalteca Indians accompanied the Spanish conquistadores north to New Mexico as soldiers and servants.
The Tlaxcaltecas valued turquoise as they used it for their religious rites;
and although this mineral is not found in mesoamerica, they found it in New Mexico.
They brought with them their weaving skills and eventually settled in the Analco District of Santa Fe before 1610.
My ancestors, the Britos, were Tlaxcalan Indians who became a part of the Trampas Land Grant in 1751.

What do we know about Analco and the original settlers of this barrio of Santa Fe?
Here are some quotes I have found in my research.
Atlixco is the old Nahuatl name for Atrisco, New Mexico.
Is it coincidence that both Anaclo and Atrixco are Nahuatl words?
Atlixco Report revised August 2011.
One of my ancestors Juan de Leon Brito was a Tlaxcalan Indian from the Analco barrio of Santa Fe NM.
New lines of research for Tlaxcalans include the seven caves, the migration of the 400 families,
the places they colonized in Mexico, Texas, and New Mexico,
including Santa Fe [Analco] , Albuquerque [Atrixco] and Las Cruces,
the 100 families with Onate saying they were passing the site of the seven caves,
the matachines dances, chocolate at Chaco Canyon,
and now Aztlan and the Aztec calendar are entering the picture.
Very interesting!
