In line with past LatCrit objectives regarding the relationship between
our Latina/o communities and religion,4 this Essay considers
1 “Gold, then, and souls, were the objective of the vanguard of conquerors. Gold for
the chests of their majesties, and for their private pockets; souls of the flock of His Holy See
and the Mother Church.” ERNESTO GALARZA, THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AS A FACTOR
IN THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL HISTORY OF MEXICO 17 (1928). Not unlike the conquest of
Mexico antigua, Hispanic conquerors sought dominion and control of the California region
for its natural resources, labor, access to the souls of the Indigenous population and its
territorial land base. For case law reference involving the search for gold and silver and a
contested mine encompassing all three periods of the conquest of the region see United
States v. Castillero, 67 U.S.(2 Black) 17 (1862).
