Cassia's 4th Grade Project - Santa Inés Mission - The Revolt of 1824

#1 The Revolt was the result of months of planning, but started a day early, when a young boy was badly beaten. This incident was not the only reason for the rebellion; rebellion was calculated and planned fight for liberation, not revenge.
#2 Indians from faraway missions came to build a defense at Santa Ines and others took in refugees. Chumash people at Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa took in refugees that fled north. In the video below, Alan talks about how Chumash, Tataviam, and Tongva people from Mission San Fernando came to fight.
#3 This was a fight for physical, intellectual, and spiritual survival. When soldiers went to go collect the Indians that fled to the hills during and after the rebellion, they witnessed them return to their original practices.
#4 This was one of many revolts in the California missions. One of these revolts was led by Toypurina, a Tongva medicine woman, who convinced Indians from six villages to participate in a revolt against the San Gabriel Mission in 1785.
