Indigenous Groups Honduras

In Honduras following the period of Mayan dominance, the area that would eventually comprise Honduras was occupied by a multiplicity of indigenous peoples.

Indigenous groups related to the Toltec of central Mexico migrated from the northwest into parts of what became western and southern Honduras. Most notable were the Toltec speaking Chorotega, who established themselves near the present day city of Choluteca.
