In this article, I analyze the tension that results from the revision of the indipeate letters and the knowledge of the missionaries in the northern part of New Spain, with the intention of reconstruction their practical and scientific skills. The indipetae letters account for the subjectivity of the candidates there the values of indifference and martyrdom are highlighted, but with little or no information about their knowledge. These letters were sent by the youth to their superiors in order to be chosen as missionaries. It is through a review of itinerancy in the northern New Spain that we can recognize how the missionaries had a certain command of cartography and natural history, as well as an inclination to learn other languages. All of their knowledge was fundamental in the conquest of new mission territories.

Keywords : itinerancy; northern New Spain; indipeate; missionary knowledge.
