Dispossessed, enslaved and harshly treated, it's not surprising that the Maya tried to throw off their shackles. The first Indian rebellion flared up in 1546, in Valladolid and Bacalar. There were others between 1639 and 1655 and in 1761, Jacinto Canek challenged the Spaniards by leading an uprising with religious overtones that historians now consider the forerunner of the Caste War.
