They include the solitary eagle (Harpyhaliaetus solitarius), great curassow (Crax rubra), highland guan (Penelopina nigra), wood stork (Mycteria americana), keel-billed motmot (Electron carinatum), southern mealy amazon (Amazona farinosa), and chestnut-headed oropendola (Psarocolius wagleri).

The Zoque natives who inhabit the Chimalapas of today, to ratify their ownership of those jungles paid the Spanish crown 25 thousand gold pesos, the same ones that Domingo Pintado delivered in a large morro gourd.

That is how the legend and history that happened in the remote year of 1685 tells it when that character bought 360 square leagues for the people of Santa María Chimalapa, Oaxaca.

These testimonies base the ancestral ownership of the two Oaxacan municipalities located in that microregion of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec: Santa María and San Miguel Chimalapas.

The ownership of the Oaxacan Zoque peoples over that territory was ratified to them with a presidential resolution in 1967, based on their original titles.
