Problem: This week's chapter in The Human Tradition in California offers a balanced view of the Spanish missionaries, presenting them as neither brutal exploiters nor benevolent saviors, but rather as priests doing what they thought was right for Indians while also forcing Hispanic culture on them: "ordinary men given to the whims of everyday life and genuinely concerned with their Indian neophytes, if not always tolerant of their disobedience"(21). Do you think this week's primary source readings generally support this interpretation, or do they do more to challenge it? Offer evidence and examples from the primary sources that both support and challenge this interpretation as you present your argument.
