In this dissertation I investigate how indigenous Maya understandings of space, history and the "production of place" influenced the efficacy of the Franciscan evangelical campaign of the early colonial period (1550--1650). The first three chapters elucidate indigenous ideologies of space as represented in two distinct modes of cultural production, narrative and cartography. A structural and linguistic analysis of the ninth-century "Itza invasion" narrative, recorded in The Book of the Chilam Balam of Chumayel in the late sixteenth century, suggests that while the Maya conceived of landscape as an animate being, human action ultimately defined place, encoding a locale's "spatial biography." Cosmogenic tales and rituals of foundation appear to have provided a mental template from which the Maya invented a cartographic tradition when asked by colonial authorities. As such, I argue that space and history are inextricably linked, creating a stage upon which the Spanish conquest inevitably contributed to the perseverance of Maya modes of place making. Following the illumination of Maya spatial ideologies, the remainder of the dissertation examines how this conception shaped conversion practices enacted at the colonial city of Itzmal. A metropolis with a millennial history, but only sparsely inhabited upon Spanish arrival, the Franciscans established a church on its ruins in 1549, eventually completing the most elaborate monastic complex in the province, the "jewel" of the Yukatek mission system. Given indigenous understandings of spatial biography and Itzmal's function as a pilgrimage site dedicated to Itzamnaaj, the Maya deity of healing, I examine what it means to initiate a conversion campaign within such a culturally hybridized city, where the pre-Columbian past appeared to seamlessly blur with the colonial present. The last chapters examine how Catholic rituals, such as the Ritual of the Five Wounds and regional pilgrimage, continued to activate Itzmal's sacrality, despite the Franciscan redirection of veneration towards the town's Marian image and her eventual transformation into a peripatetic "pilgrim" in the seventeenth century.
