description: The principal institutions of Spanish contact were, as elsewhere on the Spanish frontier, the mission, the mine, the hacienda, and the military. The mission contact situation, handled by the religious arm of Spanish administration, will be discussed more fully in later pages. The few sections that follow immediately here are an attempt to sketch some aspects of the non-mission aspects of seventeenth and eighteenth-century north Mexican society in order to give a more complete picture of the context in which the missions operated. This is presented in terms of the use of Indians as laborers and as auxiliary soldiers, as well as some of the aspects of the Spanish civil administrative organization that reached down to the local level of Indian life.
