Cabeza De Vaca



This picture to me depicts Cabeza De Vaca's experience with the Indians. It depicts the Indians way of dressing and hard labor. Cabeza De Vaca had to live like them under the circumstances. He performed the job and eventually dressed like them. He eventually had to be accustomed to their ways of living since he hadn't found the Spaniards after the shipwreck. Cabeza De Vaca describes his happenings as exausting and painful. Maybe because of the fact that as a settler he didn't perform much hard labor after all. Compared to his easy way of life in Spain, what his life became while living with the Indians could be seeing as unwished and miserable. It wasn't anything how Cabeza De Vaca would have expected.
