*Misiones de la Antigua California*: the plan to settle the Baja Indians in pueblos (lots, lands, cattle-roundups so they maintain themselves) — entrusted to Rivera y Moncada & Pres. Vicente de Mora, who 'con errada inteligencia' moved families to San José del Cabo & Todos Santos; ethnography of Santiago (only 70 souls), SJ del Cabo, Todos Santos, Comondú, Mulegé — fed from royal cattle, working fields only a few days then dispersing to the hills (vandijas, roots, wild fruit), at the mission only on feast days; 'de esta manera no pueden civilizarse y ser útiles al Estado'
