Valor etnográfico de las congregaciones civiles de pueblos de indios: la congregación de San Francisco Temango, 1598-1605/Ethnographic Value of Civil Congregations of Indians: The Congregation of San Francisco Temango, 1598-1605

The historical ethnography is the first phase of Etnohistory. It can be understood as a cut or fragment of a much longer sequence. This work examines the richness of ethnographic information in one of the political actions implemented by the Indiano legal and bureaucratic system, the civil congregations of Indians in the New Spain. Concretely this study centres his attention on the congregation of San Francisco Temango, in the jurisdiction of Tlanchinol, province of Meztitlan, realized between 1598 and 1604.
