Héctor Mejorado de la Torre Lic. Emmanuel Robles Mellín Colaborador Alejandro Galván Pacheco ©D.R. 2007 IIH UABC Presentación En 1989 siendo coordinador del Centro de Investigaciones Históricas UNAM / UABC el licenciado Jesús Ortiz Figueroa se tuvo la oportunidad de realizar investigación en La Paz, Baja California Sur. En aquel entonces una de las prioridades era enriquecer el acervo documental del centro, razón por la cual se dio seguimiento al proyecto Fuentes documentales para la historia de Baja California iniciado por el maestro David Piñera Ramírez en 1984, bajo mi coordinación.1 Durante una estancia de un mes en La Paz, trabajamos en el Archivo Histórico de Baja California Sur “Pablo L. Martínez”, el entonces director Jorge Luis Amao Manríquez, nos permitió investigar, seleccionar y reproducir documentos relacionados con el norte de la península bajacaliforniana y sur de California. En aquel momento conté con la colaboración de José Armando Estrada Lázaro que era auxiliar de investigación en el entonces CIH UNAM / UABC.2 Además tuvimos de invitados al doctor William M. Mason,3 curador del Museo de Historia Natural del Condado de Los Ángeles acompañado de su inseparable amigo David Zárate Loperena.4 El trabajo fue fructífero ya que localizamos correspondencia e informes de soldados, misioneros y autoridades locales. Estos documentos han sido de suma importancia para la historia regional, especialmente los que dan cuenta de lo ocurrido en la parte norte donde nos encontramos. Descubrimos la riqueza documental existente sobre minería durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, se encontraron expedientes que daban cuenta de los dueños, 1 El primer número de esta serie fue Testimonios sobre la invasión norteamericana a Baja California 1846 – 1848, de Ángela Moyano Pahissa. 2 Información que le fue útil para la elaboración de su tesis de licenciatura en historia, Vida cotidiana en la frontera de la Baja California a través de diarios, cartas y documentos, 1769 – 1861, Tijuana, UABC, 1996; y el libro Baja California: biografías para su historia regional, Tijuana, Sistema Educativo Estatal SEBS ISEP, 1998. 3 Donald Chaput.

Con el comentario que con la información rescatada, Mason, Zárate, Estrada y el suscrito publicamos una serie de artículos y textos con temáticas tan diversas como la formación de familias y ranchos, minería, ganadería y bosquejos biográficos entre otros. Como dato curioso, algunos de estos documentos localizados por el doctor “Bill” Mason fueron donados décadas después al Acervo Documental del IIH UABC y ahora forma parte de la Colección Donald Chaput.

  • Basques in the Americas from 1492 To1892: a Chronology
    Basques in the Americas From 1492 to1892: A Chronology “Spanish Conquistador” by Frederic Remington Stephen T. Bass Most Recent Addendum: May 2010 FOREWORD The Basques have been a successful minority for centuries, keeping their unique culture, physiology and language alive and distinct longer than any other Western European population. In addition, outside of the Basque homeland, their efforts in the development of the New World were instrumental in helping make the U.S., Mexico, Central and South America what they are today. Most history books, however, have generally referred to these early Basque adventurers either as Spanish or French. Rarely was the term “Basque” used to identify these pioneers. Recently, interested scholars have been much more definitive in their descriptions of the origins of these Argonauts. They have identified Basque fishermen, sailors, explorers, soldiers of fortune, settlers, clergymen, frontiersmen and politicians who were involved in the discovery and development of the Americas from before Columbus’ first voyage through colonization and beyond. This also includes generations of men and women of Basque descent born in these new lands. As examples, we now know that the first map to ever show the Americas was drawn by a Basque and that the first Thanksgiving meal shared in what was to become the United States was actually done so by Basques 25 years before the Pilgrims. We also now recognize that many familiar cities and features in the New World were named by early Basques. These facts and others are shared on the following pages in a chronological review of some, but by no means all, of the involvement and accomplishments of Basques in the exploration, development and settlement of the Americas.

La política reformista impulsada por Carlos III delineó el proyecto de colonización que guió la ocupación. En el proyecto, las misiones tenían asignado un papel fundamental pues se consideraba que el trabajo de los misioneros haría de los nativos unos súbditos leales y produc- tivos para la Corona. Pero, desde el momento en que el pro- yecto inició, la decadencia del Imperio español era patente, lo que repercutió en el proceso colonizador de Alta Califor- nia. Así, a escasos 44 años del inicio del establecimiento de la primera misión ya se cuestionaba su efectividad. Aquí, se presenta una breve descripción del sistema misional de Alta California y el destino que tuvo en el periodo mexicano. Palabras clave: colonización estratégica, reducción, neófito, secularización Abstract Alta California was the last territory conquered by Spain in America.

  • U.S. HISTORY the Evolution of the Pajaro Valley and Watsonville
    48 U.S. HISTORY The Evolution of the Pajaro Valley and Watsonville By James Evans Pajaro Valley High School U.S. History. The Evolution of the Pajaro Valley and Watsonville. Lesson Description 49 THE EVOLUTION OF THE PAJARO VALLEY AND WATSONVILLE Summary: Stretching from Monterey to Santa Cruz, California, the Monterey Bay has been both physically and culturally impacted by succeeding waves of inhabitants. While the native Ohlone inhabited the area for about 10,000 years without making any significant environmental impact, the Spaniards, Mexicans, and most recently, Californians have radically altered the landscape and destroyed the Ohlone’s culture existence within a span of only 250 years. Compared to the highly organized social and political infrastructure of the Europeans and their descendents, the Pajaro Valley natives lived in closely-knit communities and were led by a hereditary chief whose only power was limited because it did not extend beyond community consensus. The Spanish, and later the Mexicans, were rigidly structured in their social, political and religious hierarchy, which devastated the local native population culturally and physically. The Americans were settlers pushing westward. Their adherence to a loose frontier democracy was varied, and in some cases involved less than ethical practices, as exampled by an attitude of “Grab what you can.” (see Timeline, 1844-1852): Watsonville, Pajaro Valley and Monterey Bay Area, by Jim Evans) This lesson serves to introduce students to the evolution of cultures in the Pajaro Valley, and it allows students to analyze how different cultures have impacted each other and their environment.

  • 3.4 Cultural Resources
    3.4 CULTURAL RESOURCES Introduction This section assesses potential effects to archaeological resources and human remains that could result from implementation of the proposed project. This section briefly describes the prehistoric and historic setting of the project area and describes the results of the cultural resources investigation conducted for the proposed project. Applicable State, and federal regulations are identified, followed by impact analysis and mitigation measures, where available, to reduce adverse impacts on cultural resources. This section is based primarily on a review of the City of Menlo Park web site, a records search of the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System, and a search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) sacred lands database. The Initial Study prepared for the project (see Appendix B) determined that no historic-age (i.e., 45 years or older) buildings or structures, paleontological resources, or unique geological features would be affected by implementation of the proposed project; therefore, these issues are not addressed in the section. No comments pertaining to cultural resources were received in response to the Notice of Preparation. Setting1 Prehistoric Setting The City of Menlo Park lies within an area once occupied by the Costanoan, or Ohlone, group of Native Americans. Evidence of this group of hunter-gatherers exists from as early as 5,600 years ago. These local residents lived off the land by gathering nuts, berries, and fish from the ocean and the San Francisco Bay. Evidence of their civilization is still being unearthed on the Filoli Estate in nearby Woodside, and along San Francisquito Creek.

Our second aim was to provide a beginning list of soldiers and sailors who served during the time period. Our third aim'was to provide adeqtlate refersnces for those descendants who wanted to join the NSSAR. The NSSAR began accepting applicants who descend from Spanish soldiers in March, 1998, so the first aim was accomplished. li. ; Part 1 was really our first year of work on this project. As we began our second year of work for Part 2, we wanted to find other soldiers and sailor"and patriots who served during the time period in or for California.

Alan Leventhal Department of Anthropology Dr. Damian Bacich Department of World Languages and Literature ABSTRACT NATIVE AMERICAN RESPONSE AND RESISTANCE TO SPANISH CONQUEST IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, 1769- 1846 By Gustavo Adolfo Flores Santis This study focuses on how secular, governmental, and ecclesiastical Hispanic Empire institutions influenced the response and resistance of San Francisco Native American groups from 1769 to 1846. This project draws on late 18th and early 19th century primary Spanish documents and secondary sources to help understand the context of indigenous people’s adaptive and response behaviors during this period as well as the nuances of their perspective and experience. Using both electronic and physical documents from a number of archival databases, primary Spanish documents were translated and correlated with baptismal and death mission records. This allowed for formulating alternative perspectives and putting indigenous response and resistance into context. The results of this study indicated that when acts of resistance to the colonial mission system led by charismatic Native American leaders are placed into chronological order, it appears these responses did not consist of isolated incidents.

  • Sexual Violence in the Politics and Policies of Conquest Amerindian Women and the Spanish Conquest of Alta California
    Sexual Violence in the Politics and Policies of Conquest Amerindian Women and the Spanish Conquest of Alta California Antonia 1. Casta:fleda In the morning, six or seven soldiers would set aut together ... and go to the distant rancherias [villages] even ma'lY leagues 1lWl!I'. When both men and women at the sight qfthem would take qffrunning • • . the soldiers, adept as they are at lassoing cows and mules, would lasso Indian women-who then became preyfor their unbridled lust. Several Indian men who tried to diend the women were shot to death. JDNIPERO SERRA, 1773 In words reminiscent ofsixteenth-century chroniclers Bernal Diaz del Castillo and Bartolome de las Casas, the father president of the California missions,Junipero Serra, described the depredations of the soldiers against Indian women in his reports and letters to Viceroy Antonio Maria Bucareli and the father guardian of the College of San Fernando, Rafael Verger. Sexual assaults against native women began shortly after the founding of the presidio and mission at Monterey inJune 1770, wrote Serra, and continued throughout the length of California. The founding of each new mission and presidio brought new reports of sexual violence. The despicable actions of the soldiers, Serra told Bucareli in 1713, were severely retarding the spiritual and material conquest of California. The native people were resisting missionization. Some were becoming warlike and hostile because of the soldiers' repeated outrages against the women. The assaults re­ sulted in Amerindian attacks, which the soldiers countered with unauthorized reprisals, thereby further straining the capacity of the small military force to staff the presidios and guard the missions.
