Robert Torres

"What Price a Human? The Valuation of Indian Captives in New Mexico"

The March 7, 2020 speaker is former New Mexico State Historian, Robert Torres. The title of his presentation is “What Price a Human? The Valuation of Indian Captives in New Mexico”. This presentation will review the practice of incorporating Indian captives into Hispano households in Spanish, Mexican and Territorial – era New Mexico. Robert Torres will review the process by which Indian captives were acquired and what the documents in the archival collections tell us of how they were valued – ranging from those who were regarded as adopted children to those who were considered chattel.

Meeting is at 10:30am at the National Hispanic Cultural Center.
