In this context, the Lienzo de Tlaxcala worked as a conquest tapestry.

Hence, the Lienzo de Tlaxcala could be considered as both a conquest tapestry and a map, depending on the public and on the reading and interpretation parameters that were applied. The Lienzo narrative allowed the inhabitants of Tlaxcala to claim and protect their rights within the Spanish legal system. It was in these circumstances that they also produced several genealogic documents that linked the protagonists of the Mesoamerican wars and alliances between 1519 and 1541 with their sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries’ descendants. These are all part of what we can call an Indigenous social memory of the conquest, and its own archive, parallel to that of Western culture.
