Mission San Buenaventura
Founded in 1782, San Buenaventura was the ninth of the California missions. The Chumash Indians, the nearby tribe, was told that once they were baptized they would become neophytes and would be unable to leave the mission without permission. The Chumash were divided about their feelings towards adopting the missions lifestyle, seeing both benefits and disadvantages in strict order. The content provided in this book, aligned to California state standards, will provide students with a greater insight into the story of San Buenaventura and California's mission system. This book is filled with excellent primary source materials and visuals, including illustrations, paintings, and maps.
