This book confronts the myth that Californian history and civilization began with the Franciscan missionaries, and it exposes the brutality of these missionaries against the American Indians. It describes Indian life prior to Spanish colonization, deals with the activities of missionaries in California and the Indians' reaction to missionization, looks at the problem of genocide and slavery in the missions, and provides testimony from Indian people who have openly protested the canonization of one Californian catholic missionary.
