La historia eclesiástica indiana chronicles the evangelization of Mexico. The political powers of the time prevented its publication due to Mendieta's views on colonization of the New World and thus the text was not made public until 1870. Although paternalistic, Mendieta complains of the excessive desire for wealth that lies behind Christian efforts and certain conquerors' aims. He also traces the inaccuracies of the idyllic vision of Aboriginal life before the arrival of the Spaniards.
