an ethnic group known as skilled shooters of arrows; a semi-sedentary people related to the Teochichimeca
See an image that represents Tamin in the Visual Lexicon of Aztec Hieroglyphs, ed. Stephanie Wood (Eugene, Ore.: Wired Humanities, 2020-present).
The Florentine Codex relates that these people learned some Nahuatl or Otomí. They learned to lead a semi-settled life. They wore some tattered capes, but were not originally ones to wear much clothing or to cut their hair. Men and women wore their hair hanging long, parted in the middle. They were good at hunting and they knew herbal remedies very well. If they fell under the power of a ruler or a nobleman, they paid tributes in rabbits, deer, and serpents.

And these Tamime were only an offshoot, a branch, of the Teochichimeca, although they were somewhat settled. They made their homes in caves, in gorges; in some places the established small grass huts and small corn fields. (central Mexico, sixteenth century)
