PBS Baja Mission Special
http://www.kpbs.org/news/2016/apr/04/san-diegos-historic-pla...
A brand new series of SAN DIEGO’S HISTORIC PLACES focuses on the first Jesuit priests to arrive in the Baja California Peninsula and how they
established 17 missions in the 17th century. The colonization of Baja becomes a major clash between two cultures: the Europeans and the native people.
Find out who these priests are, learn about the Missions' architecture and how El Camino Real is still visible today. Join Executive Producer and
Host, Elsa Sevilla, for a brand new series with six new episodes on Baja California history.
EPISODE GUIDE:
Episode 1 airs Thursday, April 7 at 8 p.m. & repeats Sunday, April 10 at 4:30 p.m. - Spanish explorers begin scouting the Peninsula, looking for
ports, as early as the 16th century. Spanish explorer Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo is one of them. We’ll tell you some of his accomplishments and
discoveries. Nearly 150 years later a major religious conflict between two cultures changes the course of history in Baja California and later in San
Diego, California. We’ll show you what the Jesuit missionaries accomplished in the Peninsula. Join Host Elsa Sevilla in a new documentary series on
early Baja California history and its impacts on San Diego.
Episode 2 airs Thursday, April 14 at 8 p.m. & repeats Sunday, April 17 at 4:30 p.m. - The Jesuit Catholic priests arrive in the Peninsula to
christianize the native peoples and colonize the region for Spain. We’ll show the massive and beautiful missions in Baja California. Many are still
standing today. Also, little information is known about the first Spanish soldiers who accompany the Jesuit priests in the late 17th century. Learn
their stories from one of the descendants who travels to San Diego to tell his ancestor’s history.
Episode 3 airs Thursday, April 21 at 8 p.m. & repeats Sunday, April 24 at 4:30 p.m. - Elena Spanish soldiers, Matias, Kumeyaay and more. The
Jesuit Catholic Religious Order had been setting the foundation for Spanish colonization in Baja California since 1683. We'll show you what they
discovered, established and documented during their time in Baja and it will amaze you. Learn about their determination and hardships to establish the
Mission system in the Peninsula and about the first Spanish soldiers who intermarried with the natives and became the early Baja California families.
Don't miss an in-depth look into the architecture of the Baja missions - from Loreto to San Diego. We'll also focus on the early Spanish Conquistadors
and their impact on the Peninsula and hear personal stories from the early Baja family descendants.
Episode 4 airs Thursday, April 28 at 8 p.m. & repeats Sunday, May 1 at 4:30 p.m. - More details to be announced.
Episode 5 airs Thursday, May 5 at 8 p.m. & repeats Sunday, May 8 at 4:30 p.m. - More details to be announced.
Episode 6 airs Thursday, May 12 at 8 p.m. & repeats Sunday, May 15 at 4:30 p.m. - More details to be announced.
Episodes from this series will be available for online viewing.
This documentary series is produced by Elsa Sevilla & Guillermo Sevilla of Sevilla Productions, and sponsored by KPBS-TV & North Island Credit
Union. Sevilla Productions is on Facebook.

Thanks Jon. I will have to search to see if this airs beyond the local PBS station.
Too bad we could not gotten through the thread without the shameless advertising.

It will be interesting to see if and how they address what happened to the native people or if it will be strictly eurocentric. I hope not.
Thanks Ateo

Maybe you can't see that because you focus all of your energy on one individual

Not at all. There is a place for advertising on this forum and that is where it belongs. I don't see any other violators. Maybe you can point them
out to us. |

Missions
This sort of post underlines the strength and value of this site.
Certainty is the child of ignorance, knowledge is the mother of doubt. Question everything!

Hard to ignore when the pictures start flashing up. I would if I could somehow turn them off. Sorry Ateo for ruining your thread.

I posted a book cover, not an ad. I am very proud of my work and it will be a great resource for anyone seeking details not all easy to find and not
all in one book. The native Californian story is included as well, so they were not ignored. After all, the missions were there for them... at least
in the view of the Europeans.

The post was not about you. or your work. The book cover is a not so discrete attempt at an ad.
On edit: at least you edited some of the stuff out to make it a little better.

is it ***ushima, global warming/cooling, midlife crisis etc? Why are so many of us grumpy? Grumpy enough to elect Hitler's grandson.
I thought gracious Baja and it's bucket size Margaritas had you all mellowed out.

I didn't edit anything beyond adding the book cover. Two beautiful photos I took of two missions are the feature of it, here. For those interested,
they are the 11th and 17th California missions... San Ignacio, 1728 and Santa Maria, 1767 (originally founded in 1766 at Calamajué).

Ateo,
Thank you very much for this link to this show----even if it seems to be getting lost with book promotions.
The book promotion is already in other threads --- where it belongs.

The thread headed down the drain when rts felt the need to bust DK's balls.....again, as usual. Nobody would have been offended by David's mission
picture except his fan club and only 2 of them so far. It really is sad that some folks have so little to do that they have to follow someone around
nipping at his heels.

David T. Sounds as if you are speaking for every one ("Nobody would have been offended ") is that an elected position or self appointed. From my
perspective I would have rather heard about the PBS special than viewed someones ad.
PS I do a lot more than follow this forum. Since I spend the majority of my time in BCS, there is always a fish to catch!
