Father Kino's Lifestyle

Father Kino was not one to be in favor of slavery. He was not in support of the compulsory hard labor that the Spaniards would force onto the native people in the silver mines. This would cause a problem with his co-missionaries. Many of his co-missionaries acted  by the laws incorporated by Spain on their territory.    Father Kino was most interested in bringing the Spanish Government to a realization. He was also a writer, he would write about religion, astronomy, and cartography. He would go and build missions across the senora dessert and upward into present day Arizona. (San Xavier Del Bac).

Father Kino also liked top practice other crafts such as making wooden model ships. He had great knowledge about maps and ships later led him to believe that the Mexican Indians could access California by sea. He then later would build a ship and push it across the Sonoran Desert  to the Mexican West coast.
