Tripping Through Time: Disrupting the ancestral way of life of the Indigenous People
- The Ohlone were the Indigenous people of the Bay Area.
- Colonists arrive from Mexico, first the Portolá expedition of 1769 and then Juan Bautista de Anza’s expedition of 1775-1776. The goal was to permanently settle Alta, California.
- Franciscan priests established Catholic Missions for the colonists and to convert the Indigenous people, who culturally were thought to be pagan savages and also create a labor force to support the colonists.
- Native peoples were the builders, the vaqueros, as well as the farmers who were critical to the very survival of the Missions and the Spanish colonists.
