Spanish Colonial California, California Indians, Californios, Illegitimacy, Native Rebellions, Early American History
I am interested in the convergence of California Indians and Spanish colonists in California. I find the resulting economic, spiritual, and intimate relationships between these two groups particularly fascinating. I am also interested in native resistance to these relationships, which was often greatly underestimated and misunderstood by their Spanish counterparts at the time. I have previously done research focusing on native rebellions illuminated further with the help of GIS. My current work involves a study of illegitimacy in Alta California before 1850 making use of the Early California Population Project and the Pobledores Database.
