El presente estudio mereció la Medalla al Mérito en la Investigación “Maestro Domingo Carballo Félix”, que a instancias de la Benemérita Escuela Normal Urbana Federal de La Paz, Baja California Sur, México, que lleva el nombre del mismo mentor, instituyó el gobernador de esta entidad Víctor Manuel Liceaga Ruibal, y que el propio mandatario entregó al autor el 5 de febrero de 1991, fecha de los aniversarios de la Constitución General de la República y el mencionado Centro de Enseñanza. Aunque esta obra evidencia la consistente formación académica de Ibarra Rivera, quizá deba decirse que es profesor normalista, con especialidad en His- toria y Lengua y Literatura; docente e investigador de educación superior en Sudcalifornia, su estado natal. Anteceden al libro que hoy viene a enriquecer notablemente la bibliogra- fía de la California mexicana, El habla popular en Baja California Sur,propuestas pedagó gicas, ensayos, artículos hemerográficos y conferencias.* No son muchos los testimonios con que cuenta la materia a la que Ibarra dedicó ahora sus afanes de investigador acucioso. La mayor parte de la infor- mación se halla dispersa, y sólo en algunos casos está organizada con finalidad analítica, de ahí que su trabajo sea más que mera recopilación de vocablos indígenas —según módicamente lo llama—; se trata de una visión nueva, * México: Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes, Ayuntamiento de La Paz, Baja California Sur, La Paz, 1989. 222 p. 13 Vocablos indígenas de BCS.indb 13 11/01/12 01:00 PM 14 Gilberto Ibarra Rivera amplia, enjundiosa y sistemática sobre el asunto. Reúne y escudriña, critica, concluye y finalmente aporta. Todo lo cual nos permite, a partir de esta fecha, disponer de un texto fundamental, valioso y confiable que ingresa con gran legitimidad y decoro al acervo de publicaciones sobre las lenguas originarias de América, en las proximidades del V Centenario del Encuentro de Dos Mundos. Eligio Moisés Coronado Vocablos indígenas de BCS.indb 14 11/01/12 01:00 PM Introducción Los testimonios escritos por los misioneros y exploradores de la Baja California son los únicos nexos que nos permiten el contacto cultural con las lenguas muer- tas de la península. La desaparición de la base indígena fue el costo extremo de la presencia ibera en esta región de México, proceso realizado durante el primer siglo de su sistema de dominación y causa principal para la extinción de sus lenguas. De ellas sólo tenemos conocimiento por el registro de interpretación que hicieron los misioneros jesuitas, principalmente. Los vocablos conocidos son una ventana grande que permite asomarnos hacia el conocimiento parcial de sus realidades y dimensiones que caracterizaron a las culturas peninsulares. En nuestra época realmente es muy complejo poder determinar y de- limitar en forma satisfactoria sobre las lenguas indígenas de la península de Baja California. Nadie de los jesuitas pudo demostrar en su tiempo con estudios comparativos la integración y composición de las lenguas, y en la actualidad menos se podrá lograr, puesto que son lenguas muertas y no se encuentran las evidencias objetivas que esclarezcan las dudas que se tienen sobre ellas. Quizás en el futuro podrán encontrarse nuevos testimonios y, en torno a ellos, los especialistas opinarán con mayor autoridad. Este trabajo de investigación reúne los vocablos indígenas dispersos en las obras clásicas de la historiografía de la península, y algunos, no pocos, como producto del esfuerzo de investigación de apasionados divulgadores de la temática indígena de Baja California. En este libro se procuró recopilar lo correspondiente a los tres grupos indígenas característicos del suelo peninsu- lar: los pericúes, los guaycuras y los cochimíes, localizados de sur a norte hasta la delimitación señalada por los jesuitas. El interés de dar a conocer estas muestras de las lenguas de la península radica en ofrecer la facilidad de contar con un texto de consulta, útil tanto para el escolar, el historiador, el antropólogo y el etnógrafo, como para el lector 15 Vocablos indígenas de BCS.indb 15 11/01/12 01:00 PM 16 Gilberto Ibarra Rivera común que desee conocer los vocablos indígenas que identifican toponí- micos, animales, plantas, frutas, menaje, mitología, personajes, etcétera. En todos los casos, la escritura y el significado de los vocablos son de la res- ponsabilidad misma del autor indicado. Al consultar este libro contará con la modalidad de tener a su alcance, junto con el vocablo, la información del autor, el libro y la página de donde se obtuvo el dato, para satisfacer el deseo de ampliar la información que se le ofrece dentro de un contexto específico, propósito orientador de la obra. Vocablos indígenas de BCS.indb 16 11/01/12 01:00 PM Población y extinción indígena La península bajacaliforniana, inicialmente denominada California, fue co- nocida a través de los primeros contactos iberos protagonizados por Fortún Jiménez y Hernán Cortés en 1533 y 1535, respectivamente. Entró a los re- gistros de exploraciones al ser considerada como una isla de grandes rique- zas, causa que motivó el primer intento de colonización protagonizado por el conquistador de Tenochtitlan. Posteriormente se le concedió importancia por la posición estratégica para la seguridad de las posesiones españolas en el Nuevo Mundo. Hubo de pasar 160 años —durante los cuales se registraron exploraciones esporádicas y otro par de intentos de colonización— para que tuviera éxito la entrada definitiva de la dominación, la que se logró a partir del año 1697 por la orden religiosa de los jesuitas, quienes en sus esfuerzos de evangelización desarrollaron un importante papel histórico y, en el campo del conocimiento lingüístico, una magnífica obra que no fue superada por las corporaciones religiosas que la sucedieron en el siglo xviii, como fueron los franciscanos y los dominicos. Los grupos indígenas representativos en toda la extensión peninsular se identificaron con los nombres de pericúes, guaycuras y cochimíes, denomina- ciones con las que también, en forma general, fueron conocidas las lenguas que se hablaban en su territorio.

  • Artistic Geography and the Northern Jesuit Missions of New Spain
    Artistic Geography and the Northern Jesuit Missions of New Spain By Clara Bargellini Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México [email protected] (working paper, not be reproduced without the author’s permission) George Kubler´s seminal thoughts on artistic geography came out of his involvement with the art and architecture of the Hispanic New World. This paper examines a group of 17th and 18th century Jesuit missions in northern Mexico in order to expand our understanding of New World artistic geography, and also to explore the history of some geographic notions and their place in art historical discussions. Whereas Kubler was concerned with the transmission of styles, my interest here will be the movement of specific objects and individuals within a particular historical configuration. This will involve, of course, considerations about patronage and institutions, with some references to iconography, all of which ultimately has implications for the transmission of styles, as Kubler would no doubt have recognized. The missions in question were established in the first half of the 17th century by the Jesuits in the northern Tepehuan and Southeastern Tarahumara region, and were held by the Society until its 1767 expulsion from New Spain. From their arrival in 1572 the Jesuits focused on ministry among the native population of New Spain. Almost at once they began missionary activity among the indigenous populations in places near Mexico City. By 1580 they were established at Tepotzotlán learning native languages. In 1589 the Jesuits were among the legendary chichimecas at San Luis de la Paz, and two years later they were in Sinaloa, where they established an extraordinary system of missions about which we now have only documents and very sparse remains.

The project asks why tales of persecution became so prevalent in these borderland contexts and describes how missionaries sanctified their own sacrifices as well as native suffering through martyrological idioms.

Students of Northwest Coast history and cultures have more reasons for enthusiasm about this publication than Keats had about Chapman’s Homer, since it is not merely a language barrier that has been transcended by Iris Wilson’s translation of Mozilio’s eighteenth century Spanish, it is every kind of textual, historical, and ethnographic difficulty that would otherwise stand in the way of the complete utility and enjoyment of this extraordinary document. Noticias de Nutka is largely ethnographic reporting which, although of a rudimentary observational character, nonetheless forms an invaluable record of the first period of contact in the area. Moziiio’s account is based upon his sojourn in Nootka Sound for four months in 1792 as the scientist (botanist-naturalist) of the expedition of Bodega y Quadra.

    3n fflltmoriam PETER MASTEN DUNNE, S.J. (1889-1957) Peter Masten Dunne, S. J., died in San Francisco, California, on January 15, 1957, shortly after completing his year as president of the Pacific Coast branch of the American Historical Association. Father Dunne was still able to read the presidential address to the association at its December 1956 meeting held in Eugene, Oregon. It was characteristic of the man to wish to pay this final tribute to his fellow historians. He was born on April 16, 1889, in San Jose, California. His undergraduate studies were pursued at Mt. St. Michael's College, Spokane, Washington, Santa Clara University, and the theologate of the French Jesuits in Hastings, England. Graduate study in history at Columbia University was discon­ tinued upon his appointment to teach his younger fellow-Jesuits at Los Gatos, California, 1926-1930. In the latter year he resumed work on his doctorate in history at the University of California in Berkeley, under the direction of Professor Herbert Eugene Bolton, who remained an encouraging and inspiring friend for the rest of his life. The Ph.D. in history was conferred on Father Dunne by the University of California in 1934. This marked the beginning of nearly a quarter of a century of more intense research, writing, teaching, and administration. That same year of 1934, he was appointed to head the newly-created department of history at the University of San Francisco, a position he ably held for the rest of his life. Father Dunne will be remembered best by historians for his schola/Iy publications on the work of the Jesuits in northern colonial Mexico, from Tarahumara to Arizona, and Lower California: Early Jesuit Missions in Tarahumara; Pioner Black Robes on the West Coast; Pioneer Jesuits in Northern Mexico; Black Robes in Lower California, to list his more impor­ tant and more detailed studies.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Padres Descontentos: Spanish Imperial Policy, Franciscan Decline, and the California Mission System, 1784-1803 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Jeremiah John Sladeck 2020 © Copyright by Jeremiah John Sladeck 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Padres Descontentos: Spanish Imperial Policy, Franciscan Decline, and the California Mission System, 1784-1805 by Jeremiah John Sladeck Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Stephen Aron, Chair So long has the shadow cast by Junípero Serra been that it has obscured the history of the California mission system as it developed after the founding father’s death in 1784. In both the scholarly and popular imagination, Father Serra has become the lasting symbol of the California missions. He acts as an escutcheon, shielding the eras that followed from careful scrutiny. The intense scholarly focus on Serra leaves the impression that he either led the Franciscans throughout their time in California or that nothing significant occurred after his passing. Shining a light on Serra’s shadow, my dissertation explores the world of California missions and missionaries, their Indian converts, and their secular rivals in the twenty years following Serra’s death. It exposes the chaos, conflicts, and cover-ups that characterized the California missions in the period from 1784 to 1805, the years in which the mantle of leadership was taken up by Fermín Francisco de Lasuén. Focusing on this era broadens our understanding ii of the California mission system in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and the nature of Spanish colonialism.
