  2. Founded • Santa Cruz was founded on August 28,1791.The founding missionaries men who built it day in and out. The men were Fr. Isidra Salazar and Fr .Baldomero Lopez. Fr. Salazar was born in the Cantabrid, Spain. He served at Santa Cruz for 4 years. Neither of the priest cared for temporal administration of the large complex community .Both of them did not get along well. It was not one of the successful Spanish missions.

  3. STYLE Little is know about the church looked like. A painting of the building that hangs in the museum was done after it was destroyed. Probably, they were large stone buttresses on either side of entrance. It is likely that redwood was used for beams. The only drawing of the interior after the building collapsed. The quadrangle of the building are a central patio in workshops. Weaving was done at the mission but a small number. Indians were not highly developed.

  4. NATIVE AMERICANS The main tribes near Santa Cruz were the Onlone and the Yokut. Like most of the other tribes in California. The Chumash were Nomadic. It means that they lived in ore area. Then they moved to another community . They would follow herds for food or when there was to much trash they would burn it and move to another area. Men would hunt and the women would collect food to help their families.

  5. Life at the Mission • Life at the mission did have problems. The Spanish built a town just across the river. The men in the town tried to entice workers at the mission away to help them with work that needed to be done in the town. The men in the town drank and gambled. The fathers did not think the towns people were a good influence on the Neophytes. A 1797 storm destroyed many of the buildings and flooded the fields. Rather than helping many neophytes took the opportunity to escape from the missions. They were tired of being mistreated by the soldiers are having to work for the father.

  6. The End of the Mission Period • Mission Santa Cruz was one of the first missions to be destroyed . Neophytes living at the mission. Were given livestock to eat with their family. They got no land though. The land was given back to someone else. The land was given to the Catholic church in 1859. Also most of the land was destroyed. It was destroyed in January 1857 earthquake.

  7. Reconstruction and the Mission Today • A small wood church was built. It was built in 1858. it remained on the mission site. It was standing until 1889. when another church was built there. In 1931 a copy of the mission was built about 200 feet away. The mission is scaled down. Replica and is historically accurate but smaller.
