| Description |
Detribalized Native American places. Communities in this category may exist today as descendent communities or are historically significant land grant communities originally established by Spanish Colonial Governors to create a buffer between Spanish trade centers and more hostile native populations.
The Spanish system of detribalizing native populations (genízaros) was a defacto system of slavery - despite the Spanish Empire restricting indigenous peoples slavery in the 1512 Laws of Burgos and the New Laws of 1543. Most genízaros were indentured servants, given Spanish surnames, baptized Catholic, and expected to live by Spanish customs. Note that while the genízaro system was a Spanish colonial construct, plains native tribes including Comanche and Apache profited by selling their own or captured native people into genízaro servitude.
Genízaros are estimated to have been as much as one-third of the Spanish colonial population in what would become New Mexico.
