Mission San Francisco Solano

Mission San Buenaventura is named after a Saint named Saint Buenaventura. My mission also has a nickname it’s nickname is Mission by the ocean. It is named that because it’s near the ocean. It is located in the meadow of the Chumash Indians. The reason why it is located there because it was supposed to convert the Chumash Indians. It was built on the month of march31, 1784 on the memorable Easter morning. The family’s of the soldiers helped Fr. Serra build Mission San Buenaventura.

St. Augustine's most historical, significant structure is the Castillo de San Marcos, a fort built throughout 1672 and 1695 (23 years), by the Spanish. It was built to protect the city after it had been burned down twice. They made it using coquina a sedimentary rock primarily made up from small sea shells.

The name of my mission is La Purisima Concepcion. Father Presidente found La Purisima Concepcion on December 8th 1787. La Purisima was the 11th mission in the mission chain. This mission is located within the Santa Barbara county in a town called Lompoc. This is the rebuilt mission. The other one, a few miles away, was destroyed by earthquakes. Yes, the mission was moved to Lompoc after the original was destroyed.

Have you learned about missions? One about the missions was that Junipero Serra founded only 9 of the 21 missions founded in California. One of the missions founded by Junipero Serra was Mission Santa Clara De Asis(Wikipedia “Junipero Serra) which is the mission I’m going to inform you about. One of the resources that I used for this paper was “The Missions: California’s Heritage,Mission Santa Clara De Asis” by Mary Null Boulé, published by Merryant Publishers, 1988. Next, I will inform you about the history of this mission and also it’s designs.

One of the things which largely go unrecognized is how vital the missions were to the military in California in the 19th century. Since the military in California received little to no support during the Mexican revolution against Spain, and suffered more after Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821. In particular, Mission San Jose was expected to furnish food to the military presidios as a way of preventing famines. In fact this had been established in the 1770’s with the Reglamento,

The Spanish in contact with California occurred in the mid 1530s when Cortez’s men ventured to Baja California. They began to sail north to Alta California and established 21 missions. The expedition to Alta California was the last greatest expansion of Spain’s empire in North America. The missions were a series of religious and military settlements established by the padre. The Spanish constructed the missions to gain control and power over the land in California. San Francisco Solano Mission was the last mission established in Sonoma, the Valley of the Moon, resulted an important historical event in California and the existence of the California flag. The Spanish arrival to California created a major impact to the lives of the native Indians, and there were many significant events occurred among the Spaniards, the native Indians, and the Americans before California became a part of America.

Spanish settlers built the Mission San Antonio de Valero, named for St. Anthony of Padua, on the banks of the San Antonio River around 1718. They also established the nearby military garrison of San Antonio de Béxar, which soon became the center of a settlement known as San Fernando de Béxar (later renamed San Antonio). The Mission San Antonio de Valero housed missionaries and their Native American converts for some 70 years until 1793, when Spanish authorities secularized the five missions located in San Antonio and distributed their lands among local residents.Beginning in the early 1800s, Spanish military troops were stationed in the abandoned chapel of the former mission. Because it stood in a grove of cottonwood trees, the soldiers called

Mission San Juan had its origins in East Texas in 1716 as San José de los Nazonis, but was permanently relocated in 1731 on the banks of the San Antonio River. San Juan had fertile farmland and pasturelands, and by mid-1700s, the mission was an active supplier of agricultural produce, such as peaches, melons, pumpkins, grapes, peppers, and corn. It also supplied products such as wood, cloth, and leather goods that the mission’s Indian produced.

The San Diego Rescue Mission, 55-years-old, is an original and inspirational organization that involves itself with dealing with the homeless population. It partners with more than 100 local churches every year and the services it provides are numerous. These include:

Despite what I was taught, missions are not just a representation of architectural beauty but a representation of the cruelty imposed on Indians, to adhere to the selfish desires of Franciscan priests. According to text from Engendering the History of Alta California, 1769-1848 by Antonia I. Castañeda, forced to enter into marriage Indian women were obligated to procreate. If they did not comply with the demands they were reprimanded and if their pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage they were branded the title murder for disobeying the fifth commandment of the bible, “You shall not kill.” Placing blame on the female for a non-preventive event “women were punished by “shaving the head, …

Most Californians are introduced to the California Mission system in one of two ways: in their early education, or when they first visit a mission. Unfortunately, both methods are prone to simplification or bias in conveying the history of the missions. What this has led to is Californians who are ignorant of the history of the land they walk on. Consequently, visitors to the missions treat them as mere tourist attractions, instead of trying to embrace and understand the complex issues the missions represent.

The San Joaquin River Valley Project represents a comprehensive long term effort to restore the flow of the San Joaquin River. After reading the article, “River Plan Too Fishy for my Taste Buds” by Bill McEwen I chose and decided to use this article because it has plenty of reasonable facts. Bill McEwen emerged as veteran journalist who has worked in various positions for the Bee since 1980. He grew up in the community and knows how everything works. The article McEwen wrote operated and published in the Fresno Bee in March 6, 2015 in a city surrounded by farms. Fresno offers big anti business and government since the surroundings consist of mostly farms. Low and middle class people promote the highest population, meaning that they read from

In time, it became apparent to the Rev. Serra and his associates that the natives on the northern frontier in Alta California required a much longer period of acclimatization. None of the California missions ever attained complete self-sufficiency, and required continued (albeit modest) financial support from mother Spain. Mission development was therefore financed out of El Fondo Piadoso de las Californias (The Pious Fund of the Californias), which originated in 1697 and consisted of voluntary donations from individuals and religious bodies in Mexico to members of the Society of Jesus) to enable the missionaries to propagate the Catholic Faith in the area then known as California. Starting with the onset of the Mexican War of Independence in 1810, this support largely disappeared, and missions and converts were left on their own. As of 1800, native labor had made up the backbone of the colonial

San Elizario is a beautiful small town, with a loving and united community. It has a historical background in which it makes it even more special. We see many tourists hang at the Placita where the chapel is located but I am sure the tourists are aware of the surroundings, like the houses, and the streets, they are not pleasurable to watch. There is countless of trash around the streets, also including the houses’ front yards. I come to propose if we put more trash cans all around town, there would be less littering. To increase sanitation, we can set up community walks at least once a month, to clean our yards and the streets around the area we live in. As a result, the entire community will benefit by this cleanup project. For this to happen,
