Before the arrival of the Spaniards, the Chichimeca Jonaz were a nomadic people roaming North Central Mexico and the Southwestern United States and Sonoran Desert. After the Spanish Conquest of Mexico and the ensuing Spanish colonization of the Americas, they fought against Spaniards and Christianized Indians in the Chichimec Wars along with the Pames and Otomies and other Chichimecan peoples, in the Sonora y Sinaloa Province in the Provincias Internas and under the jurisdiction of the Real Audiencia of Guadalajara (Royal Audiencia of Guadalajara) of Viceroyalty of New Spain.
