Indians,
Franciscans, and Spanish Colonization : The Impact of the Mission System
on California Indians
by Robert H. Jackson, Edward Castillo
Book Description:
This ethnohistory examines Indian life in the twenty-one missions Franciscans
established in Alta California. In describing how the missions functioned
between 1769 and 1848, the authors draw on previously unused sources to
analyze change and continuity in Indian material culture and religious
practices. The twin goals of Franciscans were to mold Indians into a work
force that would produce surplus grain for military garrisons and to regulate
their moral conduct and religious practices.
The authors use production records to show the missions were quite
effective in serving the economic goals of Spanish colonialism on the Alta
California frontier. Even after Mexican independence when the Church's
role diminished, Indian labor continued as a mainstay of much local, seasonal
work.
The special concern of this study is to assess efforts to transform
the culture and world view of Indians. Acculturation to mission life by
California's native peoples is carefully assessed to delineate how they
coped, their history of disease and death, and their efforts at resistance
and cultural survival, especially following decrees issued in 1833 that
secularized missions.
