  • Aztec and Hawaiian Beliefs of Returning Gods: How They Influenced the First Encounter with the Europeans
    Aztec and Hawaiian Beliefs of Returning Gods: How They Influenced the First Encounter with the Europeans By Lucie Johnson 2005 Senior Seminar Dr. Kimberly Jensen Western Oregon University Reader: Dr. John Rector Dr. Max Geier Johnson, Lucie 1 Introduction Although the ancient Aztec and Hawaiian civilization were separated in history by hundreds of years and geographically by the Pacific Ocean, the two cultures possessed some similar religious beliefs. Both societies worshiped multiple deities, praised their leaders as divine, and built massive religious centers. Modern scholars embrace these cultural characteristics as symbols of the civilizations’ religious focuses. However, the two cultures also shared seemingly irrational beliefs in returning gods. The Aztecs believed that a deity would return from the east. According to the Spanish chronicle, the Aztecs thought this prophesy fulfilled with the arrival of Cortés in 1519. Thousands of miles to the west the Hawaiians had a similar vision. They believed Lono, worshiped as one of four major gods, would return during the Makahiki festival. The Hawaiians thought Captain James Cook arriving with two European ships in the 1770’s was their returning god. In both the case of Mexico and of Hawai’i, historians have developed differing views on the reality and the importance of these prophesies. As the historiography sections explain, through most of the twentieth century scholars accepted the Aztec returning god myth. However, with the emergence of postmodernism, historians began to reexamine the myth and argue it was a fabrication of the post-conquest world, used to explain why the Aztecs easily fell to the Spaniards.

  • The Nature of the Conquest and the Conquistadors
    proceedings of the British Academy, 81, 5-36 The Nature of the Conquest and the Conquistadors ALISTAIR HENNESSY Centre for Caribbean Studies, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL Summary. The opening gold-plundering phase of the Conquest in the Caribbean was succeeded by the in-depth conquest and settlement of Central and South America. Fired by the crusading legacy of the Reconquest of Spain from the Moors, the conquistadors’ military, organizational, entrepreneurial and diplomatic skills, powers of endurance, and technological superiority facilitated conquest of fragmented Indian societies. To this must be added the impact of diseases, the evangelizing success of the missionaries, and the siring of a new race of mixed blood. Although the centralized, agriculture- based Aztec and Inca empires quickly fell to the conquistadors and their Indian allies, nomadic hunting, gathering and jungle tribes remained unconquered for centuries. Elsewhere in the Americas, absence of gold and silver and of a sedentary labour force resulted in different forms of societies. In French Canada, fur-trapping needed Indian co-operation; in New England family farms excluded Indian participation; in Brazil, Virginia and the Caribbean absence of Indian labour to harvest tropical staples led to the African slave trade. Whereas in Spanish America the conquistador was the culture hero, in Canada it was the coureur du bois, in New England the Puritan farmer, and in Brazil the bandeirante, explorer and path- finder of the heartland of South America. THEMORE THAT IS WRITTEN about the Conquest the more puzzling it becomes. It still perhaps poses the greatest of challenges to the historian to explain how a handful of adventurers could subdue mighty empires Read at the Academy 4 December 1992.
