Allegiance to the Franciscans imposed certain obligations upon the Indians. In February, 1701, for example, Governor Zuniga declared that all converted Indians must live as Christians with crucifixes and images of saints adorning the walls of their rude huts. The governor ordered them to obey the commands of the friars and attend to their needs. No Indian could marry unless he first pledged to support his prospective bride. No Indians could take part in war dances or possess firearms, although they were ordered to hold their canoes and native weapons in readiness for defense of their villages. Indians might seed only that land designated by the friars and could not enter Saint Augustine without first obtaining a license from the senior military officer residing in their village. In return for obedience to these commands, the governor agreed to provide for Indian widows and orphans, AN270 to pay for all labor done by the Indians in Saint Augustine, and to give all Indians a full hearing before punishing them for any crime.
