Chinamita
The Chinamita or Tulumkis (Nahuatl ''chinamitl'', Mopan ''tulumki'') were a Mopan Maya people who occupied a territory in the eastern Petén Basin and western Belize between the Itza of Nojpetén, within the borders of modern Guatemala, and their allies at Tipuj, now in Belize. In the early 17th century, the Chinamita probably occupied a territory along the Mopan River south of the Yaxhá and Sacnab lakes in Petén, and in neighbouring portions of Belize. In 1698, after the fall of Nojpetén to the Spanish, the Itza told the Spanish that the Chinamita had territory nine days to the east of the Itza capital. ==Etymology== The term ''Chinamita'' is derived from the Nahuatl ''chinamitl'', meaning "cane hedge". This was equivalent to the Mopan term ''tulum ki'', meaning "wall of agave", which was the name of the Chinamita capital. Spanish chronicler Juan de Villagutierre Soto-Mayor described the Chinamita and Tulunquies as two distinct peoples; however, ''chinamitl'' is merely the Nahuatl translation of the Maya ''tulumki''.
