• Dates & Events:²⁵²
He was an interpreter, "proficient in his mother's tongue."
Even though he was blind, he used his languge ability to warn of the impending Indian resistance that developed when Vargas was waiting for the Tanos to vacate Santa Fe. He had overheard the Indians talking about how they would defeat Vargas and informed Miguel Lujan who relayed the information to Vargas at 4 A.M. The fact that he was in Santa Fé in Dec of 1693 proves that he and his family made the trip north with the first reconquest settler party. The phrase, 'his mother's tongue," seems to negate Fray Angélico's suggestion that he might have been Apache and supports the fact that his mother, María de Hinojos, was indeed pueblo (Zuni).
