Scope and Contents
Under the troops of Don Juan de Mendoza, Spanish colonists attacked the Pima, Ceris (Seris), and Yaquis Nations for the surrender of Cerro Prieto territory on November 25, 1768. After these Indigenous nations refused to concede their lands, Spanish troops began to spy on them and plan strategic ambushes against them. They attacked all three nations with offensive fire, demolitions, and firearms. The document accounts for the total number of stolen goods, kidnappings, and deaths of Indigenous men, women, and children.
