  Huastec
The Huastec, also rendered as Huaxtec and Huastecos, are an indigenous people of Mexico, historically based in the Mexican states of Hidalgo, Veracruz, and San Luis Potosi, concentrated along the route of the Panuco river[?] and along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
About 1450 the Huastec were defeated by Aztec armies under the leadership of Moctezuma I; the Huastec henceforth paid tribute to the Aztec Empire but retained a large degree of local self government.
The Huastec were conquered by the Spanish between 1519 and the 1530s.

 De Lugo: War Captain of the Huastecs
At the time of De Lugo’s arrival, the Huastecs are a group of independent minor states on the northeastern fringe of the civilized areas of New Spain.
In 1502, the Huastecs are one of many groups on the northern fringe of “civilized” Mexico that are to some extent transitional between the “civilized” groups like the Aztecs and nomadic tribesmen like the Chichemics.
The relationship between De Lugo and his Huastec allies on the one hand and the Spanish colony that Cortez founds at Vera Cruz is wary from the time that colony is established.

 Ekholm Collection
The Huastec were known for their skill in the manufacture of pectorals and shell earplugs (the same motif is used in other media, like dishes from Cholula) and Ekholm suggested that Quetzalcoatl was originally a divinity from the Huasteca.
In contrast, linguistic evidence indicates that the Huastec initially descended from Maya speakers that traveled up to the region at some unknown time in the past (Huastec is a Mayan language that is still extensively spoken, although its aboriginal culture pattern has largely disappeared).
Nonetheless, his exhaustive research contributed to the study of Huastec culture and most archaeologists who are interested in the region have found the data he collected, analyzed, and published invaluable.
