    In the beginning of Cabeza's account of the expedition, he describes many hostile encounters with the indians. The first encounter began with the indians coming to them in peace, asking for their women and children whom had been captured by Cabeza and his men. They released them, but had detained a cacique(an indian chief) which caused the indians to become angry and attack them. "But the detention of a cacique by the Governor produced great excitement, in consequence of which they returned for battle early the next day [June 26], and attacked us with such promptness and alacrity that they succeeded in setting fire to the houses in which we were." (de Vaca, 160) Following this attack, the encounters that Cabeza and his men had with the indians continued in this way.

Their ship was wrecked by a large wave on the 5th of November, where they encountered indians with whom they traded hawk bells for arrows, which was a pledge of friendship. They stayed in this place for awhile, working together with the indians to find food. The indians believed that Captain Alonzo del…

    Throughout Cabeza de Vaca’s narrative, Indians of many different tribes offered their assistance with food, clothes, and information. The single greatest opportunity for the Spaniards came about when the Indians on the Isle of Ill Fortune “tried to make us into medicine men”, and eventually “under such pressure we had to [perform a healing]” (de Vaca 49). Cabeza de Vaca says they performed all healings “by making the sign of the cross over them and blowing on [the person] and reciting a…
