The subject of the #CaliforniaMissions came up recently in lecture, so here's one that's part of that long, sad #genocidal operation against the Indigenous people of California. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1826, labourers from #Acjachemen nation went on #strike at #SanJuanCapistrano.

A brief stop at Mission San Antonio de Padua in Jolon — California’s second mission — during my trip up to Escondido Campground in our latest Off The Beaten Track YouTube. Link to video in bio.

I’m also wearing one of our fabulous t-shirts, not that you can really tell. Merch store also linked in bio. :)

"When you lose 90% of your population in 100 years that's like losing a million libraries full of information. So I realized that what I needed to do was use the fragments I had to tell the stories they could tell and let the gaps speak as well."
