One of Cabeza de Vaca's greatest achievements of his journey, was that he played an important role as an ambassador to bring peace throughout the land. As the party of travellers passed from one tribe to the next, warring tribes would immediately make peace and become friendly, so that the natives could receive the party and give them gifts. Cabeza notes in his personal account of his journey that in this way; ""We left the whole country in peace."" Cabeza saw these events as part of his mission and purpose in America, acknowledging in his account that he believed that: ""God was guiding us to where we could serve Him."".
