Tepahue. A division of the -Mayo and 

 also its principal settlement, situated in 

 the mountains about the upper forks of 

 Mayo r., s. Sonora, Mexico. They spoke 

 a dialect slightly different from the Mayo 

 (Zapata, 1678, in Doc. Hist. Mex., 4th 

 s., Ill, 385, 1857). The inhabitants of 

 Conil-ari, a subdivision of this tribe, ap- 

 pear from Zapata's statement to have 

 spoken a dialect somewhat different 

 from the Tepahue proper (Bandelier in 

 Arch. Inst. Papers, iii, 53, 1890). Ac- 

 cording to Ribas (Hist. Trium., 254, 1645), 

 after the reduction of the JNlayo the Te- 

 pahue established themselves in a pueblo 

 ( presumably Tepahue) on upper Mayo r. , 

 with "about 600 families, and some 2,000 

 persons of all ages. " The same authority 

 states that Conicari contained about 200 

 families. According to Orozco y Berra 

 the Tepahue are extinct as a tribe, but 

 there is still a Conicari settlement on or 

 near the ancient site.

inhabiting mainly the state of Durango, 

 Mexico, but extending also into s. Chi- 

 huahua, N. E. and s. E. Sinaloa, n. e. 

 Jalisco, N. Zacatecas, and s. w. Coahuila. 

 They occupied also, with the Nevome 

 and Tarahumare, the village of Tutuaca, 

 about lat. 28° 20^, in w. Chihuahua. 

 Before the advent of the Spanish mis- 

 sionaries among them in 1596 they lived 

 in rancherias among rocks and rugged 

 places, their huts being neatly made of 

 logs, stone, or adobe. They were regarded 

 as brave and warlike, and the Tarahu- 

 mare and Acaxee suffered greatly from 

 their aggressiveness. They revolted 

 against the Spaniards in 161(3, killed all 

 the missionaries, desolated the country, 

 and it is said marched with 25,000 war- 

 riors against the city of Durango, but
