Father Bernardino de Sahagún talking to the Indians... |
|
 | You, Indians, must eat what we, Castilian, eat because it is good food, and you will be strong and wise just like us... |  |
|
 | He is crazy if he thinks we will obey his commands and only eat their food! What about if we mix both cuisines? I could try their foods while enjoying my maize and chiles... |  |

|
Several months later at a Catholic priests meeting... |
|
 | Have you seen the Indians disobeying my order? They are mixing both cuisines! That is not acceptable. |  |
|
 | Wow, I did not know! We should make some radical changes to eliminate this mestizo cuisine ASAP! |  |
|
|
|
|
Natives response to the radical changes implemented by the priests... |
|
 | I disagree with their changes! Who do they think they are trying to force us to change our diet? Me and the rest of Athabaskan will become sheepherders. |  |
|
 | Me and the rest of the Yaquis will embrace the mission rather than become problematic. |  |
