Iya Nacuaa Teyusi Ñaña
Eight Deer Jaguar Claw ( mix, Iya Nacuaa Teyusi Ñaña ), or 8 Deer for brevity, was a powerful Mixtec ruler in 11th century Oaxaca referred to in the 15th century deerskin manuscript Codex Zouche-Nuttall, and other Mixtec manuscripts. His surname is alternatively translated ''Tiger-Claw'' and ''Ocelot-Claw''. John Pohl has dated his life spanning from 1063 until his sacrifice in 1115.
