Harlandale in San Antonio in Bexar County, Texas — The American South (West South Central)
Indian Quarters / Habitaciones de los Indios
Mission Indians received rations of food and other necessities, but were responsible for preparing meals and performing household duties themselves.
————————
En los primeros años, los indios de las misiónes vivían en pequeños jacales. En 1755, ochenta y cuatro de estos jacales delineaban las « calles » en lo que es hoy la plaza. Pero después de 1768, al aumentar los conflictos con los apaches y comanches, la misión fue rodeada por una muralla. Los indios comenzaron a vivir en habitaciones construidas a lo largo de las murallas, similares a las que hoy se ven.
Los indios de la misiones recibían reciones de comida y otras necesidades pero eran responsables de preparar sus comidas y hacerse cargo de sus faenas caseras.
