Mission Indians
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mission Indians, predominantly from present-day California (although members of the Shoshoni also joined), were groups of Native Americans who lived with the Franciscan fathers as early as 1769 when the Mission of San Diego was established. Mission Indians were from many tribes: the ones who were baptized and living in the missions.
Modern tribes can refer to the:
- Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Mission Indians
- Sycuan Band of Diegueno Mission Indians
- Ramona Band or Village of Cahuilla Mission Indians
- Juaneño Band of Mission Indians, Acjachemem Nation [1]
