2023 Choice Outstanding Academic Title
By examining historical records and drawing on oral histories and the work of anthropologists, archaeologists, ecologists, and psychologists, We Are Not Animals sets out to answer questions regarding who the Indigenous people in the Santa Cruz region were and how they survived through the nineteenth century. Between 1770 and 1900 the linguistically and culturally diverse Ohlone and Yokuts tribes adapted to and expressed themselves politically and culturally through three distinct colonial encounters with Spain, Mexico, and the United States. In We Are Not Animals Martin Rizzo-Martinez traces tribal, familial, and kinship networks through the missions’ chancery registry records to reveal stories of individuals and families and shows how ethnic and tribal differences and politics shaped strategies of survival within the diverse population that came to live at Mission Santa Cruz.
We Are Not Animals illuminates the stories of Indigenous individuals and families to reveal how Indigenous politics informed each of their choices within a context of immense loss and violent disruption.

“Rizzo-Martinez confines his study to Mission Santa Cruz, but his story has broader relevance. . . . His effort to identify Native voices and motives in colonial sources is not only fitting for a book on the history of Native people but also imperative for understanding a colonial institution where Native people were always in the majority. Beyond its contributions to mission historiography, in its emphasis on internally dynamic and adaptive Native politics, Rizzo-Martinez’s work bridges the era of Spanish colonization with the later nineteenth century and offers a useful interpretive model for future scholarship on Native survival into the twentieth century.”—Khal Schneider, Native American and Indigenous Studies
