Summary:

"This book, a collection of essays from a conference held at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida in 2023, continues a strong tradition of inquiry into the relationships between Native people and the Spanish religious and secular forces in the early colonial era. It becomes abundantly clear to the reader of these essays that simplistic dichotomies between Native and European attitudes must give way to more subtle explorations of these complex encounters. Instead of thinking of either Catholic or Indigenous culture as uniform, the authors of these chapters show us that whether we look at text, performance, or land use we find complex entanglements of interpretation and practice."-- Provided by publisher.
