Kejache
The Kejache () (sometimes spelt Kehache, Quejache, Kehach or Kejach) were a Maya people in the southern Yucatán Peninsula at the time of Spanish contact in the 17th century.〔 The Kejache territory was located in the Petén Basin in a region that takes in parts of both Guatemala and Mexico. Linguistic evidence indicates that the Kejache shared a common origin with the neighbouring Itzas to their southeast and the Kejache may have occupied the general region since the Classic period (c. AD 250-900). The Kejache were initially contacted by conquistador Hernán Cortés in 1525, they were later in prolonged contact with the Spanish as the latter opened a route southwards towards Lake Petén Itzá.
==Territory==
The Kejache occupied a region that is now crossed by the border between Guatemala and the Mexican state of Campeche,〔Chávez Gómez 2006, p. 58.〕 in an area measuring approximately extending from lakes Silvituk and Moku in Mexico southwards towards Uaxactun in Guatemala.〔Villa Rojas 1985, p. 447.〕 The Kejache held a province that lay between the Itza kingdom centred on the city of Nojpetén and what, after the initial stages of the Spanish conquest, became the Spanish-held Yucatán to the north.〔Jones 2000, p. 353.〕 The Kejache were bordered immediately to the north by the territory of the Acalan, a Chontal Maya people.〔Rice and Rice 2005, p. 152.〕 The precise geopolitical extent of the Kejache is poorly understood,〔Rice 2009, p. 17.〕 and no archaeological surveys of the Kejache territory have taken place.〔 The Kejache territory consisted of a region of low hills with wide valleys that form swamplands during the rainy season, the region is also characterised by a number of small lakes, such as Lake Moku, Lake Silvituk and Chan Laguna.〔
