Indigenous Miracles
Indigenous Miracles is part of the ongoing stream of scholarship that examines indigenous experiences of colonialism by using native-language records along with more familiar Spanish-language genres. The book intersects as well with studies of Nahua religiosity and the significance within the indigenous world of the Catholic Church, its clergy, and its belief systems. Most of the author’s examples come from Chalco and Amecameca, as well as the in…

Not a Pastor, But a Wolf
Not a pastor, but a wolf who gains sustenance from the blood of his sheep” is the way in which a parish priest was described in a petition written on behalf of the town council of Jonacatepec, an important indigenous community in what is now the state of Morelos. Addressing the ecclesiastical authorities in 1818, the petitioners sought to discredit the priest who like a wolf, they claimed, “gains sustenance from the blood of his sheep” by chargin…

Our Suffering with the Taxco Tribute
A L T H O U G H Spanish invaders of Mesoamerica were seeking gold, it was silver that made New Spain a populous central area of colonialism. Large-scale silver extraction began after 1550, and, by end of sixteenth century, bullion (some of it gold but most silver) represented 8o percent of early Mexico's total exports. The industry would have its ups and downs, but by independence colony had produced 300 million marks of silver, equivalent to abo…

Living in Two Worlds
The Hinojosas were a prominent family within Cuernavaca's indigenous ruling group. Surviving Spanish and Nahuatl-language records connected with their public and private lives can be used to identify significant patterns of cultural continuity and change from the late sixteenth through the mid-eighteenth century. Further, comparisons drawn between the Hinojosas and other members of the indigenous elite reveal an ongoing process of adaptation, acc…
Indian Town Government in Colonial Cuernavaca
One notable aspect of the Spanish colonial system in central New Spain was the fact that native peoples often retained control of local town government. The strong and complex traditions of the stratified society living in the preconquest Cuauhnahuac region grew from the common cultural experience of pre-Hispanic central Mexico. Altepetl were complex units made up of a number of equal parts, or districts, each with a ruling dynasty. The jurisdict…
