Ekuseni eTzintzuntzan, iLanga laqala ukukhanyisa inhlokodolobha yombuso wePurépecha.
Izolo, “umkhosi wemicibisholo” omkhulu ubusenzekile, i-Equata Cónsquaro, namuhla ezophetha ngokuzidela okukhulu kweqembu lezigebengu nakulabo bantu abazojeziswa ngokuhlubuka nokungalaleli kwabo. AbakwaPetamuti balalela ukumangalelwa ngezwi elivulekile labaphathi kanye nezinduna zomakhelwane, base bekhipha isigwebo esinzima: bonke bazobhekana nesigwebo sentambo.
Kudlule amahora amaningi ngenkathi kudlula imikhosi emikhulu, okufakazelwe ngabalingiswa abaphambili bezepolitiki zaseMichoacan. Ukuqapha okukhulu, ngesikhathi sokubulawa amalungu ezikhulu ahogela intuthu kagwayi wasendle emapayipini awo amahle. Nakulokhu futhi kwakugcinwa imithetho yasendulo eyayinakekela amasiko nokuziphatha okuhle, ikakhulukazi lokho izinsizwa ezingamaqhawe ezazikukweleta inkosi yazo.
Ekuphetheni komhlatshelo, iqembu lalilandela ezinyathelweni zepetamuti, lihlangana egcekeni eliphambi kwesigodlo secazonci. UTzintzicha Tangaxoan wayesanda kubekwa esihlalweni sobukhosi; inhliziyo yakhe ibingazolile, ngoba izindaba ebeziqhamuka eMexico-Tenochtitlan ngokuba khona kwabokufika abavela phesheya kwezilwandle bezimbi kakhulu. Ngokushesha ubuso bakhe babuzoshintsha, ajabule lapho ezwa indaba yasendulo yokuza kokhokho bakhe esifundeni sesiziba, futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke wayezoyithokozela futhi, indaba kaTariácuri, umsunguli wombuso waseMichoacán.
AbakwaPetamuti bakhulume nesixuku ngalawa magama ahloniphekile: “Nina, bozalo lukankulunkulu wethu uCuricaueri, enifikile, labo ababizwa ngo-Eneami noZacápuhireti, namakhosi abizwa nge-Vanácaze, nonke eninalesi sibongo babuthene lapha ku-…. ” Lapho-ke wonke umuntu waphakamisa imithandazo yakhe ehlonipha unkulunkulu uCuricaueri, okwathi, ezikhathini zasendulo, wahola okhokho babo kula mazwe; wahola ezinyathelweni zabo, wakhombisa ubuqili nesibindi sabo, futhi ekugcineni wabanika ukubusa phezu kwesifunda sonke.
Le ndawo yahlalwa "ngabantu baseMexico", ngu "Nahuatlatos", okumele ngabe wakubona ukuphakama kukankulunkulu iTirepeme Curicaueri; isifunda ekuqaleni sasiphethwe abanumzane abehlukene; UHireti-Ticátame, inkosi yama-uacúsecha Chichimecas, elandela imiklamo kankulunkulu wakhe, uthatha intaba i-Uriguaran Pexo. Ngokushesha ngemuva kwalokho, bahlangana nezakhamizi zaseNaranjan, futhi yaqala kanjalo-ke indaba: UTicátame uzoba yimpande yesihlahla esivundile somndeni wecazonci.
Njengomuntu ozinikele eCuricaueri, izinhambo zakhe zaziziningi, uHireti-Ticátame wapha umlilo womlilo ngokhuni olungcwele, futhi wacela onkulunkulu bezintaba imvume yokuzingela, efundisa bonke uacúsecha chichimecas imisebenzi yabo ebhekiswe konkulunkulu. Ekugcineni washada nowesifazane wasendaweni, wahlanganisa ikusasa lokufuduka kwabantu bakubo nalabo ababevele bephila kusukela ezikhathini zasendulo osebeni lwechibi.
Ngemuva kokushona kabuhlungu kukaTicátame eZichaxucuaro, ebulawa ngabafowabo bomkakhe, ulandelwa yindodana yakhe uSicuirancha, ofakazela isibindi sakhe ngokujaha ababulali futhi asindise isithombe sikaCuricaueri - esintshontshwe e-altare lakhe-, ehola okwakho ukuya e-Uayameo, lapho kusungulwa khona. Kuleli dolobha, amadodana akhe uPauacume - owokuqala waleli gama– no-Uapeani, yena owazala uCurátame, owayezoqhubeka nohlu lozalo, bazobusa njengabazolandela.
Ngaleso sikhathi endabeni, izwi likaPetamuti - elinamajika asendulo olimini-- lachaza inganekwane eyingqayizivele yokuguqulwa kwamadoda abe izinyoka, ephakamisa umfanekiso kaXaratanga, unkulunkulukazi wenyanga, eveza izimfihlakalo zamabele okusanhlamvu , upelepele nezinye imbewu, ziphenduke ubucwebe obungcwele. Lezo kwakuyizikhathi lapho onkulunkulu, kanye nabesilisa, bathola ukunqoba enkundleni yempi. Ngaleso sikhathi futhi lapho iqembu le-uacúsecha Chichimecas lihlukana futhi inkosi ngayinye encane, nenqwaba kankulunkulu wayo, yaqala ukufuna indawo yayo yokuhlala ebangeni nobubanzi beLake Pátzcuaro.
Ekushoneni kukaCurátame, amadodana akhe amabili, u-Uapeani noPauacume - abaphindaphinda amagama abo ababengaphambi kwabo - bahamba amathafa nezintaba befuna ikusasa labo. Izindaba zeparamuti zakhuthaza izihlwele; Bonke babazi ngohambo lwabafowethu ababili, olwaluzobayisa e-Uranden Island, lapho bathola khona umdobi ogama lakhe linguHurendetiecha, ondodakazi yakhe yashada noPauacume, omncane walaba ababili; kusukela kuleyo nyunyana uTariácuri wazalwa. Isiphetho saba nabazingeli ababumbene nabadobi, ababezosekela umphakathi wePurepecha wesikhathi esizayo. Umshado wasemhlabeni uzoba ukulingana okungaqondakali kobumbano phakathi kweCuricaueri neXaratanga, nokwamukelwa konkulunkulu abakhulu bendawo, abazokwakha umndeni waphezulu.
Laba bantu ababesebenze kanzima kuyo yonke le ndawo ekugcineni bafika ePátzcuaro, indawo engcwele eyayizoba isihlalo sohambo lwabo olude; Lapho bazothola amadwala amane amakhulu enza imizimba yezithixo zawo: iTingarata, iSirita Cherengue, iMiequa, i-Axeua ne-Uacúsecha - inkosi yezinkozi, ukaputeni wazo ongunkulunkulu. Kubabukeli, inganekwane yembulwa, babengabaqaphi bezinkomba ezine zomhlaba, kanti iPátzcuaro yayiyisikhungo sendalo. UTzintzicha Tangaxoan ucule wathi: "Kule ndawo akukho komunye umnyango ongena ngawo onkulunkulu futhi benyuka."
Ukuzalwa kukaTariácuri kuzokhomba inkathi yegolide yePurépecha yasendulo. Lapho kushona uyise, wayesengumntwana; kodwa ngaphandle kobudala bakhe obusha, wakhethwa u-cazonci ngumkhandlu wabadala. Abafundisi bakhe kwakungabapristi uChupitani, uMuriuan noZetaco, abazalwane abazinikele abafundisa lo mfundi osemusha ngesibonelo, abathi kanye nokuyala ukuthi ukuzinikela konkulunkulu nsuku zonke, futhi okulungiselelwe impi, kuvimbela impindiselo kayise, omalume bakhe nogogo nomkhulu wakhe.
Ukuzidela kukaTariácuri kwaletha injabulo ezindlebeni zabo bonke ababambe iqhaza emhlanganweni. Ukubusa kwale cazonci kwakukude kakhulu, kugcwele izimpi ezingapheli ezifana nezimpi kuze kube yilapho amaqembu eChichimec esebona ubukhosi bawo nokuvelela kukankulunkulu uCuricaueri, ngaleyo ndlela kuvumelana nombuso weqiniso wePurepecha.
Isiqephu esisha endabeni ye-petamuti bekuyindaba yabazalwane abayizintandane, uHiripan noTangaxoan, abashana bakaTariácuri, abanyamalala kanye nomama wabo ongumfelokazi lapho izitha ze-cazonci zithathe iPátzcuaro. Kwakudingeka babaleke ukuze basindise ukuphila kwabo. Izinhlupheko eziningi namacala lawa zingane kumele ngabe ahlupheka njengezivivinyo ezibekwe onkulunkulu, zaze zamukelwa ngumalume wazo. Izimfanelo ezingenakuqhathaniswa zabazalwane ziqhathaniswa nobuncane besimilo sendodana yabo endala - okubangelwa ukudakwa–, yingakho uTariácuri, ezwa ukuphela kwezinsuku zakhe, walungiselela uHiripan noTangaxoan, kanye nendodana yakhe encane uHiquíngare, e ukuguqulwa kobukhosi obuzayo obuzobusa umbuso ngokuhlanganyela: UHiripan uzobusa e-Ihuatzio (obizwa endabeni uCuyuacan, noma "indawo yama-coyotes"); "Hiquíngare, uzoqhubeka lapha ePátzcuaro, wena, Tangaxoan, uzophatha eTzintzuntzan." Amakhosi amathathu azolandela umsebenzi kaTariácuri ethatha ukunqoba kweCuricaueri kuzo zonke izinhlangothi, enweba imingcele yombuso.
Indaba eyatshelwa yi-petamuti yalalelwa ngokucophelela nguTzintzicha Tangaxoan, efuna ukubona emazwini ompristi izimpikiswano ezizomvumela ukuba abhekane nezehlakalo ezizayo. Ubuzalwane bobathathu bakaPátzcuaro, Ihuatzio noTzintzuntzan baphulwa, okokuqala ngokufa nokuqothulwa komndeni kaHiquíngare, inzalo eqondile yaseTariácuri, kanye nokuhluthwa okwalandela okwatholwa nguTicátame, indodana kaHiripan, ngumzala wakhe uTzitzipandácuri, scion weTangaxoan, othatha isithombe sikaCuricaueri.
Kusukela lapho, uTzintzuntzan wayezoba inhloko-dolobha yalowo mbuso. Ubucwebe obuphangiwe kwamanye amadolobha amabili buzogcinwa esigodlweni sasebukhosini, okwakha ingcebo yeCuricaueri necazonci. UZuanga, umbusi olandelayo wePurépecha, kuzofanele abhekane noMexico, azonqoba ekugcineni. UTzintzicha Tangaxoan uyinakile le ngxenye yokugcina yendaba ephakamise amandla amabutho akhe; Kodwa-ke, imizwa yezethameli yayivele isilinganisile panorama efiphele yokusondela kweSpain, ememezela ukuphela okuyinhlekelele.
