Peter Porter and Casanate, an explorer who in 1643 toured the southern tip of the peninsula, said that during his travels ...

"…No kind of idolatry was recognized in these Indians, there are thieves and liars and use of drinking or potions ..." 4.
The obvious moral evaluation of these lines will not look beyond the mere apparent, superficial and material of indigenous culture. For the fact that they had no idols or sight-exempt churches have not built a religion that will explain their own existence and the world. There are many reports about the rituals that were filled holiday of the year.
About this religion developed Miguel Venegas a summary, based on reports give you different missionaries. In his News of the California we know that Pericues believed ...
"... In the sky lives a man who is called Niparaya, which made the earth and the sea, gives food, raised the trees and everything we see and can do whatever you want. We do not see, because have a body like us. This man has a wife Niparaya called Anayicoyondi has three children .... Of these, one is Quaayayp, who is a man ... (he) was among them (the Pericues) and taught. was powerful and had killed many people ... but it is very beautiful, without any corruption, continuously pouring blood. does not speak for being late but he has an owl who speaks "5.
This man had an enemy Niparaya, WAAC Tuparán, with whom he once fought ...
"... Finally beat him, took away all pitahayas and threw the sky and locked him in a cave. He then whales of the sea, that frightens Tuparán WAAC, that does not leave the cave."
This version is obviously filtered through the sieve of the missionaries and closely resembles the story of the rebellion of the angels, WAAC Tuparán going to be the devil figure to be his followers, "perverse, sorcerers and healers among Pericues while Niparaya followers would be "serious and circumspect people that easily comes down to reason." Such similarities should be accentuated by the friars would see them as an advantage for their evangelizing mission. That is why we need to take the evidence with some reservations.
