  distinct 
  people. 
  The 
  present 
  city 
  of 
  Pasto 
  was 
  founded 
  in 
  Quillacinga 
  

   territory 
  in 
  the 
  valley 
  of 
  Atris, 
  which 
  was 
  occupied 
  by 
  several 
  small 
  

   groups: 
  the 
  Isancales, 
  Paguanes, 
  Zacuampues, 
  Chorros 
  (Velasco, 
  

   1841-44, 
  2:153), 
  Mocondino, 
  Bejendino, 
  Buyzaco, 
  Guajanzangua, 
  

   Mocoxonduque, 
  Guacuanquer, 
  and 
  Macaxamata 
  (Cieza, 
  1932, 
  ch. 
  33). 
  

   Quillacinga 
  territory 
  extended 
  from 
  the 
  frontier 
  of 
  the 
  Pasto 
  on 
  the 
  

   west, 
  i. 
  e., 
  the 
  Guaitara 
  River, 
  eastward 
  to 
  the 
  mountain 
  ridges 
  

   from 
  which 
  flow 
  the 
  Caqueta 
  and 
  Putumayo 
  Rivers. 
  Its 
  northern 
  

   and 
  northeastern 
  limits 
  are 
  the 
  high 
  paramo 
  of 
  the 
  Letrero 
  and 
  the 
  

   sources 
  of 
  the 
  Cauca 
  River. 
  Recent 
  investigations 
  show 
  that 
  it 
  

   extends 
  south 
  to 
  the 
  district 
  of 
  Puerres 
  (Guerra, 
  1942).

  Popayanense. 
  — 
  North 
  of 
  the 
  Quillacinga 
  in 
  the 
  province 
  of 
  the 
  

   Popayanense, 
  which 
  is 
  well 
  delimited 
  by 
  the 
  Cauca 
  River 
  valley 
  and 
  by 
  

   the 
  first 
  spurs 
  of 
  the 
  Cordillera 
  Oriental 
  and 
  Cordillera 
  Central, 
  were 
  

   numerous 
  peoples 
  who 
  had 
  the 
  same 
  general 
  culture, 
  although 
  some 
  

   of 
  the 
  first 
  historians 
  differentiate 
  them. 
  These 
  tribes, 
  which 
  may 
  

   collectively 
  be 
  called 
  Popayanense, 
  perhaps 
  included 
  the 
  Purace. 
  The 
  

   many 
  small 
  groups 
  so 
  lacked 
  political 
  unity, 
  however, 
  that 
  Cieza 
  said 
  

   "That 
  there 
  were 
  no 
  men 
  among 
  them 
  who 
  were 
  feared/' 
  i. 
  e., 
  they 
  

   lacked 
  chiefs. 
  

  

  Coconuco, 
  Moguex, 
  and 
  Paez. 
  — 
  In 
  the 
  hills 
  and 
  small 
  valleys 
  of 
  the 
  

   eastern 
  slopes 
  of 
  the 
  Cordillera 
  Central 
  were 
  groups 
  of 
  distinctive 
  and 
  

   strongly 
  organized 
  people. 
  The 
  Coconuco 
  , 
  the 
  Moguex 
  (Guambia), 
  

   and 
  the 
  Paez 
  lived 
  on 
  the 
  eastern 
  slope 
  of 
  the 
  Cordillera, 
  and 
  the 
  

   Guamza 
  (Guamsa), 
  Malausa, 
  Polindara, 
  Palace, 
  Tembio, 
  Colaza, 
  

   Zotara, 
  and 
  Guachicone 
  on 
  the 
  western 
  slope 
  of 
  the 
  Cordillera 
  (Cieza, 
  

   1932, 
  ch. 
  32). 
  Linguistically 
  and 
  culturally, 
  7 
  these 
  tribes 
  were 
  very 
  

   homogeneous. 
  There 
  were 
  three 
  important 
  subgroups: 
  (1) 
  the 
  

   Coconuco, 
  Cotara 
  (Zotara), 
  and 
  Colaza; 
  (2) 
  the 
  Moguex 
  (Guambia), 
  

   Totoro, 
  and 
  Polindara; 
  (3) 
  the 
  Paez, 
  with 
  groups 
  on 
  both 
  slopes 
  of 
  the 
  

   Cordillera 
  Central.

  Andaqui 
  and 
  neighboring 
  tribes. 
  — 
  The 
  Andaqui 
  lived 
  in 
  the 
  moun- 
  

   tains 
  from 
  the 
  source 
  of 
  the 
  Magdalena 
  River 
  to 
  near 
  Timana 
  and 
  

   south 
  to 
  the 
  high 
  ridges 
  which 
  form 
  the 
  watershed 
  between 
  the 
  upper 
  

   Magdalena 
  River 
  and 
  the 
  Fragua 
  and 
  upper 
  Caqueta 
  Rivers 
  (Velasco 
  

   in 
  Ternaux 
  Compans, 
  1840, 
  pp. 
  167-68; 
  Perez, 
  1862). 
  This 
  zone 
  

   contains 
  the 
  important 
  archeological 
  remains 
  known 
  as 
  San 
  Agustin 
  

   (Arroyo, 
  1907). 
  The 
  territory 
  of 
  the 
  Yalcon 
  (Cambi) 
  was 
  between 
  

   the 
  headwaters 
  of 
  the 
  Rio 
  de 
  la 
  Plata 
  and 
  the 
  Magdalena 
  River 
  (Sim6n, 
  

   1882-92, 
  vol. 
  4, 
  Noticia 
  cuarta, 
  ch. 
  hi). 
  The 
  Timand 
  were 
  found 
  by 
  

   the 
  conquistadors 
  to 
  the 
  southeast 
  of 
  this 
  region, 
  between 
  the 
  Guara- 
  

   pas 
  and 
  Magdalena 
  Rivers 
  centering 
  around 
  Timana 
  (Velasco, 
  in 
  

   Ternaux 
  Compans, 
  1840,
