Juan Pérez de Tolosa began another inspection of pearl fisheries on 17 October 1548. During this visita he appointed Pedro de Gámez as a public defender for Indigenous people, empowered to report abuse and pursue freedom claims. Some people were freed, while owners continued to hold others under colonial legal claims. The record exposes a contested legal system: reform gave Indigenous workers channels to challenge captivity, but it also continued to recognize some owners’ claims to enslaved people.
