the Colorado/Yuma Indians' overtures to the missions. — ⭐ Ignacio Pacheco → Sal (2 Jul 1800): ~15 Colorado-River gentiles reached a ranchería near the Tulares, bearing blankets & buckskin shirts to lure neophytes to the missions; one questioned the padre 'por qué pegaba y hacía trabajar tanto á los cristianos' and urged returning the Christians to their lands. ⭐⭐ Gabriel Moraga's investigation (11 Jul 1800) — conflicting native testimony: one informant (Pomarca) says the Yumas threatened war on Missions San Miguel & San Luis; the *capitanejo* denies any threat — only the annual trade (blankets/shirts for beads), 11 Indians. → the Indian-raiding dossier, the indigenous-intelligence dossier (indigenous diplomacy + the Spanish reading conflicting native intelligence).
