of the spanish the bolsón de mapimí was inhabited by nomadic hunter gatherers bands of the toboso people of whom little is known inhabited most of the bolsón in the north lived the chisos who had a similar culture spanish penetration into the bolson began in the 1590s with jesuit missionaries slave traders and tlaxcalan indians whom the spanish persuaded by grants of land and freedom from taxes to move north to aid in assimilating the indians and resolving the long running chichimeca war 4 the toboso and chisos began raiding spanish settlements at an early date and participated in wars against spanish settlements in 1644 1667 and 1684 most of the toboso and chisos were absorbed into the spanish population in the early 18th century 5 in the 19th century the bolsón was still largely unpopulated in the 1840s and 1850s the bolsón became a base for comanches from texas who met at well watered locations consolidated their forces often numbering hundreds of warriors and struck off in every direction on destructive raids of mines and ranches 6 see comanche mexico war from the 1840s to the 1860s much of the bolsón was a ranch owned by the sánchez navarro family possibly the largest
