Junípero Serra

The Drama film Rabbit-Proof Fence, directed by Phillip Noyce, was based on the book by Doris Pilkington which retold the true story of how three young Aboriginal girls escaped the Moore River Native Settlement, after being kidnapped from home. In Western Australia, there was a government policy that would send half-caste children to this settlement to "save them from themselves" because they did not want a third unwanted race. Half-caste is referred to mixed-blooded children. Mr. A.O. Neville, played

one of the first things to be cultivated in America by European settlers and is seen on the maps of early American colonies dating back to 1585 (Pinney 6). Wine eventually made its way to California with Catholic Missionaries in the 1780s. Fray Junipero Serra established Catholic missions all along the coast of California all the way up to what is present day Sonoma (Pinney 238). The optimal climate in California made wine making a very productive and profitable business and is still cultivated today

Molly Ball! Period 4! Mr. Rudolph! 25 August, 2014! ! Chapter 1: New World Beginnings! ! 1. How did “man” reach the New World? Why did we come?! ! When the Ice Age caused the sea level to drop, it exposed a land bridge from Eurasia to North America. Therefore, while some nomads took boats to the New World, the majority of the first nomadic Asian hunters came to the New World by walking across the land bridge, called Bering isthmus. Small bands of these immigrants continued to travel across the

During the thirteenth century, Europe was a completely different scenario than what it is now, many countries were looking into how to expand outside of their immediate territories. The new world became a phenomena and a future reality for Europe because of the hard work of many different people. It became possible to explore the new world because of people like Vasco de Gama, and Prince Henry the Navigator who both worked on making it possible to get outside of Europe (Torrecilla). As soon as there

especially frowned upon the berdaches that acted like and were treated as women, shaming and punishing them. In their attempts to “culture” the Indians, they created enemies of an otherwise peaceful people. The Spaniards engaged in what Father Junipero Serra referred to as a “plague of immorality”, raping Indian women out of stress and fear. The Mission of San Diego was destroyed by the Indians largely due to these acts, but only after the Indian population had been reduced to a fraction of what it

The west part of the United States of America began from Mississippi to the Pacific Coast. Also, it covered from northern plains to the Rio Grande. The Americans were the last to arrive to arrive and explore the land. Previously other countries had already arrived and explored it. Of course, before all of these countries had arrived, the Indians lived here. They knew the land well and believed they were created from it. Eventually, everyone would take an interest after hearing stories about gold

in later centuries, one wonders what attracted all to the farthest frontier, the unsettled west coast. That is until you delve deeper into what the land had to offer as an economic source. The year 1769 saw Gaspar de Portola and Father Saint Junípero Serra leading the first permanent European settlers to California. Before the end of the century, missions were established along the coast and towns were established, especially Los Angeles in 1781. The establishment of missions and towns began economic

destroying Native American cultures. Not only were there means of destroying cultures through boarding schools, but less passive methods were also used. There used to be over 300,000 Native Americans living on the Pacific Coast in California before Junipero Serra made several missions there; he converted Native Americans to Christians, causing some other tribes to resist through battle which exterminated a large number of them according to the webpage “Assimilation, Relocation, and Genocide”. Missions

religion gave birth to quite a few contentions between separate groups, raising moral dialectics. These moral bickers from religion fueled groups to spread their specific beliefs or ideals. For example, in the year 1769 Spanish Missionaries, led by Junipero Serra, attempted to christianize those Native Americans who habited California. The missionaries accumulated thousands of semi-nomadic Indians to strong missions which taught ideas like horticulture. Missionaries fiercely shoved the idea of christianity

San Francisco Mission de Asís In the early 18th century, the San Francisco Mission de Asís was built by the Ohlone Indians (also known as the Costanoans), who were natives of the San Francisco Bay Area. With the Spanish entering their land, they had no choice but to please them. The Spanish explorers wanted land specifically in Alta California, the only way for them to achieve this was through increasing their population, allowing for greater representation. They desired to reach California before
