Each Mission has a unique story. Here at Santa Ines is Pasquala, the young Chumash Indian girl who saved the mission from attack by non-mission Indians. Pasquala died from fever in her race to save the mission and she is buried here in the mission garden. 2010-07-24
Isn't History amazing?? I really enjoy hearing all of these details of people who came before us.
ReplyDeleteFor one of my history assignments, I had to pick a favorite Mission Indian to describe. I picked Pasquala. I think she was a hero.
