300 YEARS OF CALIFORNIA MISSION HISTORY: THE MISSION AS A FRONTIER
INSTITUTION REVISITED
Saturday, October 4 - Sunday, October 5, 1997
The Temple in San Diego Heritage Park, Old Town, San Diego, California
Sponsored by the California Council for the Humanities
This event is organized in recognition of the 300th anniversary of the
founding of the first mission in the Californias at Loreto, Baja California.
It is the initial event in a week-long series of activities that recognize
the Ibero-American experience. San Diego has a proud and fascinating Native
American and Ibero-American history. The roles of the two cultures will be
addressed by nine speakers over the two days, in non-technical presentations
and panel discussions.
Nine community leaders and scholars have been asked to address their remarks
to aspects of the mission era in both Californias. The panel will include
Native Americans and scholars who have approached history from the Native
American and other perspectives. The public is invited at no admission
charge, although donations will be gratefully accepted.
