The participation of indigenous allies on Spanish expeditions of expansion, conquest, and colonization in the Americas throughout the 16th century is well documented. The Tristán de Luna Settlement effort was dispatched from New Spain to La Florida with 12 ships and 1,500 colonists, including Mexican-born Spaniards as well as 200 Aztec Indians from the Valley of Mexico. Both groups represented unique populations distinctively different than their Pre-conquest and Spanish-born counterparts. Focusing on the Aztec ceramics, this presentation will discuss the New Spanish colonial assemblage of the Luna Settlement effort while exploring the significance and experiences of indigenous peoples who were, at once, colonizers and colonized, and their role in 16th century Spanish imperial expansion in the Americas.Pensacola Library
