Consag interrupts a Cochimi image burning ceremony.
"On the 14th we reached the place inspected before and we stopped on a slope in front of the settlement. There are on its declivities some small dug
wells of brackish water and at the foot the large ravine.
On the other side there are some other small wells in which there is more and better water. To this the mounts were taken and the majority of our men
too, provided themselves with this water.
The natives had aban- doned their settlement and scattering over places that were rough and broken, they very timely carried away or concealed their
household utensils together with the idols that they are wont to keep in a house or bower apart from the town, so that the settlement looked as if
deserted.
These miserable and unfortu- nate barbarians make their idols out of any kind of grass reinforced with sticks. In their faces (I had better say) in
the place of the one they ought to have, you see a kind of a cap that they make of black feath- ers woven into the knots of a hair net in the manner
of a wig and it is among their most ingenious pieces of work.
The ears of some of them are of wood; for shoulders they put a little board on each side, about six inches long, thin and painted. Moreover, we mar-
veled at seeing the Holy Cross there. A plumage made of various feathers serves them as a crown.
From the neck over the chest there hang many strings of small shells, of snails, little nuts and various colored feathers, that the greater part of
the adornment con- sists of, and that in their blind and barbarous opinion constitutes all the wealth.
Some of them have a piece almost a half yard long and about a quarter or one- third wide of a course texture of Agave and crudely variegated with
earthen paints. Some skeins of hair knotted and braided above, hang like a cloak or mantle of state from the madly false divinity.
All this finery they are wont to keep in little baskets of rushes not woven but tied at certain distances in such a way that when they open them the
shole stretches out like a mat. In some settlements every married man has his own adornment for his idol; in other settlements only some of the men
have it, but the chief or captain al- ways has it. When many villages unite in order to celebrate some feast, each one comes with the little basket of
his idol.
In front of each one they nail his wide or narrow, long or short board, according to the wood they had. Those living near the ocean have the widest
boards because they make use of some pines that grow near the beach.
These boards are highly prized by the barbarians because they cost a great deal of time and more labor than it is easy to imagine, when we consider
that without any other implements than sharpened stones or flints they have to rough- hew split the trunk, hew it out and polish it until it gets as
thin as aboard."
Here is a description of the Diegueno version of the ceremony for some insight. 'The Diegueno Ceremony of the Death Images '

Unfortunately the Krmpotic translation of Consag is known for not being very good.
"carried away or concealed their household utensils together with the idols that they are wont to keep in a house or bower apart from the town"
It actually says "by chance" the image house and the images inside were left behind when the people fled. This may seem odd but if you read the
Diegueno version you will understand why, and why the people started coming back. It must have been quite traumatic.

If you can create double spaced paragraphs every few lines will make reading things like this greatly easier! 👍

Thanks.
That we can read something from the 1750s is pretty amazing.
The details of water sources and people found during his expeditions were so important for future travels and mission sites.
I am not seeing anything about image burning, however. Perhaps because I am on my cell phone with its small screen?
The entire book with Consag's two expedition diaries and other letters, is online for all to read. Link is with the photo of the book, in the History
Books page at VivaBaja Books.

The link I posted at the end, 'The Diegueno Ceremony of the Death Images ' , explains what Consag was seeing. When people die they are still around
but a bit lost, confused, and angry because they no longer have a body. The image burning ceremony is held to finally send them away to the north.
The Images are bodies for the dead to inhabit during the ceremony.
Both the Kiliwa and Diegueno myths that explain the reason for the ceremony contain references to secondary burial, something the Kiliwa and Diegueno
did not practice. The Cochimi on the other hand did, suggesting the ceremony actually originated with the Cochimi or perhaps even south of them.

The Consag Expeditions post
Is in the July 2023 Baja Bound Bulletin thread link...
Baja Bound Bulletin
If you use a cell phone to view...
You won't see the captions for the illustrations...
I will add them here:
Map showing Mission de San Ignacio at the center-bottom, plus three proposed missions that are labeled as empezada (started). To the west is Mission
de San Juan Bautista Emp. (empezada). To the northwest is Mission de los Dolores del Norte empezada. To the northwest of Dolores is Mission S M Mag.
(Santa María Magdalena) empezada.
Map drawn by Consag in 1747 following his sea expedition. Note that his latitude figures are one degree too high. View Larger
Don Laylander's map with Cochimí placenames.
Discovered by Padre Consag on his 1753 expedition, this year-round stream of water at Calamajué was undrinkable. The 1766 mission was built on the
upper left edge of this photo. Seven months later, this mission was moved about 30 miles north.
Don't want to click the Baja Bound link?
Here is the text of my article...
History tells us about many explorers of the New World. The Jesuits explored on land and sea hoping to find places to build new missions, as well as
helping the Spanish King expand his empire, and bringing more Native people into the church. In 1697, the first mission colony was founded at a place
called Conchó by the Natives who lived in the area. We know that location today as Loreto.
In 1703, Fernando Consag was born in Croatia under the name Ferdinand Konscak. At the age of sixteen, he joined the Jesuits. In 1723, following years
of study and training, Consag was ordained into the priesthood. In 1730, Father Fernando traveled with a group of other Jesuits across the Atlantic to
North America. Once he was in Veracruz, Consag was assigned to serve in distant California. The hard journey there was so he could assist Padre
Sebastián Sistiaga at Mission San Ignacio. Sistiaga was losing his assistant, Padre Sigusmundo Taraval. In 1733, Consag arrived at his new post.
Padre Taraval had been assigned to the new mission of Santa Rosa de las Palmas.
By the 1740s, the Jesuits had founded fourteen California missions. Only one of which had been abandoned, the mission at Ligüí. These missions were
all in the southern half of the peninsula, a place many still believed was an island. In the fifty years from the founding of Mission Loreto, they did
not build any further north than the 1728 mission of San Ignacio. Consag, in addition to assisting Padre Sistiaga, traveled to other missions to
assist their padres. Consag was at Mission Guadalupe in 1744 when its church wall fell and killed many people inside.
The efforts to maintain these missions and feed the neophytes were massive. Bringing supplies across the gulf from Mexico was extremely difficult with
many ships lost in the crossing. A land route to California was the only hope to ensure safe communication with the mainland missions. That is if
California was not an island! The peninsular nature of California had been established by earlier explorers of the Gulf of California, yet
cartographers continued to show it as an island.
Even with supply difficulties, the glory of a Jesuit California was huge, and benefactors promised large sums of money to help the missionaries. They
probably believed (or were told) that sponsoring a mission would guarantee an easy path to heaven. Thanks to this financial support, Jesuits began
construction of proper stone churches to replace adobe and palm thatched ones. Loreto, San Javier, Mulegé, San José de Comondú, and San Luis
Gonzaga all had beautiful stone-block-walled churches, built between the 1740s and 1760s.
In 1746, Spain wanted to secure California from foreign powers as well as find a land route to there from Mexico. The Jesuit Provincial, Cristóbal de
Escobar y Llamas had ordered the California Jesuits to settle the question of island vs. peninsula. The Padre Visitador Juan Antonio Baltasar selected
Padre Consag for this question, an excellent choice. He had been exploring the regions beyond San Ignacio where three proposed missions were planned:
San Juan Bautista in the Santa Clara mountains; Santa María Magdalena in the north; and Dolores del Norte between San Ignacio and Santa María
Magdalena. All three proposed missions only existed on paper but have caused speculation about the three being ‘lost missions.’ Consag began
baptizing Natives on his explorations for a future Dolores del Norte mission.
Padre Consag’s 1746 sea expedition examining the east coast of California and finding if it is connected to North America, would seem to be the
final say in this question. Consag’s voyage of discovery began at the small inlet of San Carlos with four small open boats, called canoas.
Accompanying him were six Spanish soldiers, a small number of his neophytes from San Ignacio, and a group of Yaqui Indians from Mexico. They set sail
on June 9, 1746, and traveled by day and came ashore each night. Let me share a few entries to illustrate the level of detail which Consag enters into
his diary:
On July 16th is an interesting entry where Padre Consag writes that they arrived at Bahía San Rafael and discovered hot springs by some white rocks
that were covered at high tide. The hot water comes up through the sand here and other places along the same sandy beach for half a league (approx.
one mile). When covered by high tide, the water is “tinged with red mixed with faint blue.” Some friendly Natives took them to the San Rafael
Aguage (a fresh water source). Consag writes, “Not far from the beach is a large pond, and near it a well, which when cleansed affords good
water.” This describes the lagoon near the late Pancho’s San Rafael beach camp.
July 20-22: Consag at Bahía de los Angeles had some ‘issues’ with the Natives there. Interesting reading!
July 23: The expedition reached the Bay of Remedios (today it is better known as Bahía Guadalupe). Consag describes it in great detail.
The next few days, Consag describes Isla Angel de la Guarda then the arroyos, littered with palm leaves, which caused the expedition to seek water,
and they found a pond some distance up the sandy wash.
July 28, they arrive at Puerto Calamajué and named it San Pedro y San Pablo, for the anniversary of those apostles. The next day, they pass Punta
Final and detail the “larger bay” and the harbor on its north end, “separated by a narrow channel” which Consag names Bahía de San Luis
Gonzaga. They spent three days there but after digging a well nine feet deep, could not find water.
The diary continues with amazing details on the shoreline and the Native rancherias (settlements or family groups). Consag reaches the Colorado River
and sails up it on July 18, 1746. They spent several days studying the delta so by July 25, he was confident that California was not an island.
Not having found any suitable locations for a mission on his 1746 sea expedition, a second expedition, by land this time, would look to the far north
on the western slopes of the peninsula. This second expedition began on May 22, 1751, at La Piedad, a place Consag says was already picked to be the
next mission [the future Santa Gertrudis] and where he had baptized many Natives for tentatively named Dolores del Norte. In 1751, Consag wrote that
the spring at La Piedad had failed, and a well was some distance away. The expedition included five soldiers and a “sufficient number of natives on
foot.”
An interesting passage is found on June 2: “We finally followed a small stream, the water of which looks like liquid salt. In its extremity there is
a great quantity of white marble transparent like onyx. We proceeded in search of another stream, but we found ourselves very high in the Sierra
already and the passage so beset with craggs that it was necessary to retreat.”
The diary again gives much detail of the land, the people and the difficulties suffered. Many times, the expedition’s meals were provided by
roasting agaves and collecting the abundant shellfish. Many water sources were found but often were salty. A map locating the diary’s Native
placenames would be most interesting and beneficial to see their route. Don Laylander does show five of them on his map of Cochimí placenames.
Potential mission locations were mentioned in the diary. None were ever utilized. Padre Fernando Consag, and the 1751 expedition, returned to La
Piedad on July 7 and 8. Here at La Piedad, Mission Santa Gertrudis was officially founded on July 15, 1752. The year between the two events was for
preparation, building, and learning the Cochimí dialect by the new California Jesuit, Padre Georg Retz. Consag’s baptized Dolores del Norte
neophytes, were now members of the new mission. Consag trained Retz at San Ignacio for the year leading up to the new mission’s founding.
Fernando Consag was not satisfied with the mission-site possibilities he had seen on these two journeys. A third expedition would be needed to
investigate the eastern slope of the peninsula, inland from the gulf coast. In the Spring of 1753, fifty-year-old Consag was ordered by Padre
Visitador Augustín Carta to make a third expedition to find suitable mission sites. When Consag traveled, he only brought a walking stick and a
section of canvas to serve his needs for the day and for the night. He was one tough padre!
The diary from the third expedition was apparently lost. We know from other works that saw in the diary; Padre Consag traveled in June and July of
1753. That he was received well at Bahía de los Angeles this time. The Cochimí men even cleared a road for him into the mountains. The expedition
reached a point approximately parallel to Bahía San Luis Gonzaga. No mention is given to the oasis that would become Mission Santa María in fourteen
more years, even though some modern writers claim Consag found it. The wide arroyo of Calamajué was discovered, but its water was heavily tainted
with minerals and undrinkable. When Padre Linck came to Calamajué in 1766, recent rains apparently diluted the stream, fooling the Jesuits, for it
was decided to build a mission there later that year, a mission that could not grow any crops. No other location visited by Consag in 1753 was
promising.
They had not seen the hot spring location called Adac on the route they took. Its existence would later be disclosed to Padre Retz at Santa Gertrudis,
in 1758. Padre Fernando Consag, who was then the Superior of the California missions, desired to build the new mission of San Francisco de Borja Adac.
Sadly, his health and then death on September 10, 1759, would prevent that wish. Consag will be remembered as one of the Jesuit’s and Baja
California’s great explorers.

The ultimate place of origin for the ceremony is theoretical yes .
The purpose and myth behind the ceremony is well documented from native informants. There are several records of the ceremony.

A different but related Cochimi ceremony.
These geoglyphs, on hills, several around Agua Dulce, published by Ewing.
The following English translation of this passage is from Clavigero. The passage originates in Del Barco. It doesn't appear in his section covering
ethnology and linguistics, instead it appears right after the chapter on moving the cabacera of Santa María. He says it comes from the priest of the
most northern
missions. The Jesuits had the latitude for San Borja at 30° I believe, maybe David can confirm.

From the Kiliwa (the Cochimis northern neighbors) 'The war between the gods ' recorded by Meigs. This isn't a minor episode, this moment is the
pinnacle of a long saga. Death had already been introduced to the world but there were certain divine beings who could make it so themselves and
others could continue to go about in a body as if they were still alive. This moment is the end of that.
"At last he found the boy. He said, "He is in the sky. The dead one has a shirt. One cheek is painted jamák jál'jáu (jamák, with hand on face, all
covered; jál'jáu, green), and the other is painted jeg jál'jáu (see fig. 18, a). He grasps a war club (jípáčmilsú pǎkáu, war club made of
one piece of wood; sál [eru]mé, 'he grasps'). He has down on his head (tesa', a tuft of feathers worn on the head). This is his clothing"
The father was also seeing his son in the sky: "Yes. It is true, what the hechicero says. But some things he says are not true.' But he thought this,
only, and said nothing. The hechicero said, "I can do nothing. I cannot bring the dead one back from the house where he is."
Then Pokipai remained thinking. He made a cigarette, and sat think- ing, "How am I going to be able to bring him down?" Then he blew out a cloud of
smoke. The smoke went directly east and passed by Wey Mijak (in a song). The smoke went farther and farther up toward the north (where Mexicali and
Calexico are) by a white hill. And the smoke went all around until it entered the house of Maikwiak (in the sky). Then the smoke entered the house of
Maikwiak to the place opposite the center of the row of dead (fig. 18, 6). (The dead all sat on that side, and there was a sort of glass on the other
side through which everything could be seen. Things can be seen when the smoke, amá'ijiñam, is as a flash of lightning, and everything can be seen
for just a moment.)
The smoke made a path to God's house. The house has a crotch (me- táimá isecan) in place of a door. Nobody can enter, but the spirit of the shaman
who wants to see things can look through the crotch. But it could not see well, because the crotch was just on a level with its eyes. (All the dead
are on the south side of the house, covered with mats of reed called cuánáy like those in the cave.) Pokipai put the smoke there so that things in
the house would be lighted and could be seen. (Many details are missing from the story, especially what is said in the songs, but I can't explain
well, and I forget some, too. Some of the dead are in God's house in the sky, others are in the hills, others under the ground.) Then all could be
keen well. Pokipai began to sing a song which said, "I find myself like a dead person. (And the song continued about hills, and the clothes of the
boy, and many things.) Now you are going to sit down. Now you are going to get ready. Now you have to go." He (the dead child) went down the path,
which was made of many things. He went down to the first sky, when Pokipai said, "Meñufkuñamá" (i)jáu mól jachap él kuá'ipái(v)" (the name of
that sky). There he could be seen going down. He went down to a hill called Mejé(u)wey (east of here).
Pokipai finally brought the child into the tiwa'. Everybody could see him inside. Then said a seer (Joá'kuñamá") in the tiwa', "It is not just that
a dead man should be here like a living man. (Because he ate all the food that had been set in the back of the house for visitors; not just the savor,
as the dead should, but the entire food.) If many people come today or to- morrow, there will be nothing for them to eat?" (The food is put in little
clay bowls for eating, for food is given to all comers.) Then said Pokipai, who was thinking about many things, "It is true." Then he began to sing,
saying, "Tobacco. Green smoke. I take it. I smoke. I blow smoke. It is my right. I order it."-Metáiltomákachái ("tobacco"), nipóyke ("smoke"),
mílsú ("green"), něpíau ("I take it"), echú ("I smoke"), akám ("I blow smoke"), iú jamát ("it is my right"), epá ("I order it"). (These are
the words of Maikwiak, not like those of the Kiliwa. All the songs are in these other languages.)-The song is finished, the boy was no longer there;
he vanished"
To get a better idea read How Maikwiak Was Born (page 69) and The War Between the Gods (page 78)

Kiliwa Nipumjos aka "Dios Chico". Linck describes these among the Cochimi north of San Borja in a letter to the treasurer. He says they are carefully
carved statues, not works of art yet not altogether crude and primitive. One hand held an entwined snake and the other held a trident.
This "Dios Chico " could be the image for the dead god boy (see the war between the gods recorded by Meigs) that runs down the hill in the man who
comes from heaven ceremony. The dead god boy in the myth can no longer continue going about in a body as if he were still alive. This image was
not burnt like the ones in the image burning ceremony but was kept in a cave when not in use.

This is very interesting... How did you find the sites or come to realize they could be the same as Consag wrote?
Thank you!
On your San Borja latitude question: Yes, the Jesuits were one degree too high. San Borja is nearer (a little south of) 29° North Latitude not 30°.

The first important clue is the location of the Manila galleon wreck. Meigs placed Kalvalaga farther north, up near El Rosario. That may be why
Laylander places up near there on his map. In order for that to be true the Manila galleon would have to be much farther north than it is. Aschmann
had a dissenting view, he actually correctly guessed the vicinity of the wreck fifty odd years before it was found. He placed Kalvalaga somewhere
west of Punta Prieta.
The second important clue is Lincks 1766 diary which states Keda (Codornices) was the furthest north Consags expedition went. That can only be one of
the two groups Consag sent out to explore from Cienega/Kadazyiac (San Andres). He sent one group to explore east, to Codornices, and another north
to where they had seen smoke, Kalvalaga.
The current name gives it away. Two places with water, Los Ojitos.

Fascinating!
Have you shared this with Don Laylander? He is a member of my BajaMissions Facebook group and we email.
Congratulations on making history interesting and informative.
Thank you.

I assume it's been considered by others especially after the wreck was found.

Can you tell me where in Aschmann's book is the talk about Kalvalaga and the Manila galleon? Page # or which chapter, please. I have the 1967 reprint
and it lacks an index.
