The Hiaqui wars and the peace of the Rio Hiaqui, as the Jesuit history of 1645 records them

The wars between the Hiaqui nation of the Sinaloa frontier and the captain Diego Martinez de Hurdaide, and the peace that ended them, told by the losing side's own printed history. It records a Spanish force of twenty-two soldiers surrounded by seven thousand fighters, a tactic devised to bring down armoured horses, women sent as envoys to negotiate, and a peace whose terms included missionaries requested by the Hiaqui and two of their own leaders handed over for execution.
