History Kids - California Missions
23m
Learn all about the California missions. How many missions are there? What was the purpose of these missions? Who was Saint Junipero Serra? What did he do to "help" the Indigenous Peoples of California, and why is it today considered controversial? The answers to these questions and more are answered in depth with detailed graphics, diagrams and exciting video. Indigenous host Rainy Fields (Cherokee Nation Tribe) and Indigenous History Professor Ethan Banegas (Kumeyaay, Barona Band of Mission Indian) add historical insight and context, while sharing their deeply personal connection to the subject matter.
