Life at the Missions- Native American at the mission was from Ohlone Indians tribe. Only thirty-three Indians were living at the mission at the end of the first year. The men hunted for food and planted crops. The women wove basket and blanket with their children. The children wove basket with their mothers and did help in chores , but they never had a free time.
Don Juan de Onate, wrote the letter after the expedition took place, the subject of the document included the travels to the new colony and the hardships that were endured. He described the culture, religion and living conditions of the indigenous people. Although gold was not found, other riches were to be had, such as furs, mines, foods to harvest and wildlife. Don Juan de Onate also told of his commitment to Spain and the
Some Native Americans were welcoming him. He was important in the history of San Diego because he found the state called “California” and a city name San Diego. Father Serra and Gaspar de Portola Father Serra and Captain Gaspar de Portola sailed through California. They decided to establish the first mission in San Diego Bay, where Kumeyaay was settling. This was the first mission for them.
This book earned him the Presidio la Bahia Award, presented by the Sons of the Republic of Texas. Since, then Mr Hinojosa has gone on to author and edit several works related to colonization and/or the Catholic Church. He wrote Friars and Indians: Towards a Perspective of Cultural Interaction in the San Antonio Missions in 1990. He edited U. S. Catholic Historian: Volume 9, Numbers 1 and 2, Spring 1990 (Special Hispanic Catholics Issues), Kauffman, Christopher J., Editor, MoisÃs Sandoval, Gilberto M. Hinojosa, Juan Alfaro Et Al.
He was on a mission to convert Indians he met to the Catholic religion. Hackel gives us the definition of what Serra thought conversion was at that time, “commonly referred to the process through which Catholics took up a more serious form of religious practice” (63). Because of this definition, we can clearly see that Serra was very unprepared for the challenges he was going to face in the new world. An article was written by Tony Platt about Serra and why he shouldn’t have been canonized. There are compelling facts about Serra that show how his dedication to religion could have caused many issues with his missions and also how he was unprepared when it came to Mexico.
During Spanish control of Presidio Hill, a key component for their method of colonization was building missions church that would teach the local native population of the religion of Catholicism. The first mission of the nine total Father Serra established was, “On July 16, (...) a crude church meant to serve both the Spanish colonist and begin Catholic outreach to local natives” (San Diego Mission). As a working priest, he tried to establish as many missions as possible in California in spreading the word of God to the population. Having established previous missions in Mexico, he was very passionate and determined of his role in the colonization of the Spanish. The establishment of this particular mission is significant to history of San Diego because it still stand today and serves the community of San Diego.
However, according to Father Junipero Serra, the natives were by far in the wrong with their actions to destroy the mission (Chan/Olin, 60). This argument is obviously one sided, but if the website for the San Luis Rey Mission mentioned the fact that the natives sometimes did not like the fact that they were being taken over by a force that merely controlled them with guns, it would most definitely affect their tourist income in numbers. In addition, the mission website is less likely to mention the fact that there were punishments for those natives who did reject the work or conversion to Catholicism. As mention in Francis F. Guest’s essay, “Cultural Perspectives on Death and Whipping in the Missions”, there were many instances in which the punishments for natives was excessive and superfluous. “There is incontrovertible testimony that delinquent Indians were whipped, sometimes excessively, by the padres”
Finally, when Christopher Columbus came to the Americas he wanted everybody to convert to Catholicism. If the Native Americans didn’t convert to Catholicism the Europeans would burn them(OSU.EDU). Christopher Columbus didn’t think that the Native Americans had a religion(ChristianHistoryInstitute.com) Even though they were going to be burned, the Native Americans didn’t want to convert to Catholicism(OI). This is the final reason why the Native Americans population decreased
Junípero Serra has been decapitated, defaced, and became a saint all within a month’s time. He is surrounded by controversy. Many celebrated for he was the first Latino to become canonized. Rubén Mendoza of California State University of Monterey Bay explains, “Father Serra was not only a man of his time, he was a man ahead of his time in his advocacy for native people on the frontier.” However, Valentin Lopez who is the chair of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band explains that “Serra’s and the Church’s failure to learn form the teaching of Christ or from the life of St. Francis resulted in the complete extinction of many, many California tribes and great devastation for many others.”
The first Catholic missionaries, also know as Jesuits, came to New France in 1634 to spread Christianity and European values. The Jesuits established Sainte-Marie-aux-Hurons by the St. Lawrence River in 1639, creating a central base for all missionary work in New France. This paper will examine how the Jesuits ' feelings of superiority over the Huron people led to converting the native population to Christianity. Father Jean de Brébeuf saw both positive and negative aspects of the Huron confederacy. One aspect of the American Indians’ culture he approved of was their marriage customs.
Many European explorers wanted to become wealthier in their travels. This is shown in Letter of Christopher Columbus to Luis de Sant Angel, where the text states, “I can give them as much gold, spices, cotton, and as many Indian slaves as they choose to send for.” Christopher Columbus is requesting that King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella fund his journey. He promises to make them rich in return. This demonstrates how explorers, like Columbus, were seeking gold and other treasures when they began exploring.
In Freakonomics, by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, the reader is introduced to the idea that economics is everywhere and can be found in places where you'd never think of. The book explains that economics is the study of incentives, and shows how motives can affect human behaviors. It's broken down into different types of incentives-- economic, social and moral. Economists often change incentives to try to affect human behavior, though an incentive can cause unforeseen consequences. In Chapter 1, the authors use a daycare in Israel, where parents are charged a $3 fine if they're late picking up their kids.
He noted their sophisticated, very well-developed societies. When Europeans came into contact with Native Americans, they tried to spread Christianity and force Natives to convert to their religion. This is because people who sided with Sepúlveda felt that their religion was superior and wouldn’t ever fathom that they could adopt any of the Natives’ religions. Places in the “new world” that were under Spanish rule often were exceedingly religiously intolerant. As the Europeans gained more and more power religiously, Native American religions were silenced.
When Columbus came to the Americas in search of land for his king, he also came to claim land for God” (Spreading Religion in the Age of Exploration). The Europeans spread Christianity, and it became very popular among the colonies of the New World. “Roman Catholicism was the official religion of Spain, so the Spanish conquistadors sought to spread Catholicism throughout their colonies, in addition to accumulating wealth and power” (Spreading Religion in the Age of Exploration). The Spanish missionaries worked very hard throughout the Americas and attempted to evangelize Native American groups.
