Bound collection of documents regarding the sale of lands owned by indigenous peoples in Tlaxcala and Puebla, Mexico. Many sales involve the transfer of communal lands of indigenous towns to the Spanish. In many instances, the collection documents the cultural practices that indigenous Mexican people engaged in when buying and selling property. The first volume traces the ownership of the hacienda of San Juan Mixco in Tlaxcala from 1719 to 1823 and includes documents concerning an attempt by two caciques, or indigenous leaders, from Ocotelulco to recover land from the hacienda and disputes between the Spanish family who owned the hacienda and Indians in the neaby town of Santa Apolonia over the rights to an aqueduct. This volume concludes with a suit brought against the hacienda's owner in the 1820s by the Indians of San Damián, who were attempting to claim some of the hacienda's land after the owner had fallen into debt. Included is a richly illustrated manuscript map (53 x 74 cm) of the hacienda of San Juan Mixco and the surrounding towns comissioned by the Indians of San Damián and drawn by Antonio de Santa María Incháurregui, architect of Puebla, in 1809 (|Plano corografico que demuéstra la figura que forman las tierras comprehende la hazienda nombrada San Juan Mixco, en jurisdiccion y doctrina del pueblo de Santa Maria Nativitas|). The second volume documents sales of indigenous lands in Tlaxcala during the 17th century, including lands that would eventually become San Juan Mixco. Included are several indigenous manuscript maps of lands sold, some of which feature pre-conquest-style glyphs of feet, and several receipts. It ends with a 1699 decree signed by Viceroy José Sarmiento y Valladares, Count of Moctezuma. The third volume, laid in contemporary vellum wrappers, includes documents primarily from San Felipe in Puebla, as well as Atlixco, Puebla and San Lucas Tlacochcalco and Santa Cruz, Tlaxcala. The Santa Cruz documents also include a manuscript property map.
