these people comprised an ethnic group that occupied Morelos in the sixteenth century
"Around AD 1200, the first settlers in the valleys of modern Morelos developed a highly productive agricultural society based at Cuauhnáhuac ('Place at the Edge of the Forest'). Later, the dominant Mexica (Aztecs) called them 'Tlahuica," which means 'people who work the land.'" According to the Codex Mendoza, "in 1379 a Mexica warlord conquered Cuauhnáhuac, subdued the Tlahuica and exacted an annual tribute that included 16,000 pieces of amate (bark paper) and 20,000 bushels of corn."
