Huastec People
The Huastec or Téenek (contraction of ''Te' Inik'', "people from here"; also known as Huaxtec, Wastek or Huastecos) are an Indigenous people of Mexico, living in the La Huasteca region including the Mexican state, states of Hidalgo (Mexico), Hidalgo, Veracruz, San Luis Potosí and Tamaulipas concentrated along the route of the Pánuco River and along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. There are approximately 66,000 Huastec speakers today, of which two-thirds are in San Luis Potosí and one-third in Veracruz, although their population was probably much higher, as much as half a million, when the Spanish arrived in 1529. The ancient Huastec civilization is one of the pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures. Judging from archaeological remains, they are thought to date back to approximately the 10th century BCE, although their most productive period of civilization is usually considered to be the Mesoamerican chronology, Postclassic era between the fall of Teotihuacan and the rise of the ...

Huastec Language
The Huastec (also spelled Wasteko or Huasteco) language, now commonly known by the endonym Téenek, of Mexico is spoken by the Téenek people living in rural areas of San Luis Potosí and northern Veracruz. Though relatively isolated from them, it is related to the Mayan languages spoken further south and east in Mexico and Central America. Huastec is remarkable among Mayan languages for having tone, much like its Otomanguean and Totonac neighbors. According to the 2005 population census, there are about 200,000 speakers of Huasteco in Mexico (some 120,000 in San Luis Potosí and some 80,000 in Veracruz). The language and its speakers are also called Teenek, and this name has gained currency in Mexican national and international usage in recent years. The now-extinct Chicomuceltec language, spoken in Chiapas and Guatemala, was most closely related to Wasteko. The first linguistic description of the Huastec language in a European language was written by Andrés de Olmos, w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Huastec Civilization
The Huastec civilization (sometimes spelled Huaxtec or Wastek) was a pre-Columbian civilization of Mesoamerica, occupying a territory on the Gulf coast of Mexico that included the northern portion of Veracruz Veracruz, formally Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave, officially the Free and Sovereign State of Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave, is one of the 31 states which, along with Mexico City, comprise the 32 Political divisions of Mexico, Federal Entit ... state, and neighbouring regions of the states of Hidalgo (state), Hidalgo, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, and Tamaulipas.Diehl 2000, pp. 184–185. The Huastec people were an early offshoot of the Maya peoples that migrated northwards. Surviving remains from the Huastec civilization include several large archaeological sites, a well-preserved temple, and a large amount of stone sculpture. By the Mesoamerican chronology#Postclassic period, Late Postclassic (c. AD 1200–1521), the Huastecs had developed Metallurgy in pre-Columb ...

La Huasteca
La Huasteca is a geographical and cultural region located partially along the Gulf of Mexico and including parts of the states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Puebla, Hidalgo, San Luis Potosí, Querétaro and Guanajuato. It is roughly defined as the area in which the Huastec people had influence when their civilization was at its height during the Mesoamerican period. Today, the Huastecs occupy only a fraction of this region with the Nahua people now the most numerous indigenous group. However, those who live in the region share a number of cultural traits such as a style of music and dance, along with religious festivals such as Xantolo. Geography and environment Historically and ethnically, the Huasteca region is defined by the area dominated by the Huastecs at their height. The actual extension of the region is somewhat disputed as well as how it should be sub-divided. Geographically it has been defined as from the Sierra Madre Oriental to the Gulf of Mexico with the Sierra de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Parque La Huasteca is a municipal park in Monterrey, Mexico. It is part of Cumbres de Monterrey National Park, which was established by president Lázaro Cárdenas in November 1939 and declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in October 2006. It is part of the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range, and its part of the Huasteca Region, from where it derives its name. It is a natural canyon formed by the Santa Catarina River. It is around 200 hectares in area. It also has the highest precipitation of the state, Nuevo Leon, and is home to La Presa Rompepicos. The canyon is mostly conformed of limestone, reaching heights of over 550 meters. This limestone comes from the Late Jurassic, nearly 161 million years ago. Though the formation of the mountain itself was during the Laramide orogeny, around 40 to 20 million years ago. Having nearly 400 bolted routes with grades from 5.4 to 5.14, and no entrance fee for most climbing areas, it has become a very popular site for climbers. History ...
