HISTORY
Portuguese navigator Juan Rodriguez
Cabrillo was credited with the discovery
of the Santa Barbara Channel during an
exploratory voyage in October 1542, in
which he claimed the land in the name of
the Spanish king. Sixty years later
Sebastian Viscaino named the channel in
honor of Saint Barbara when he sailed in
on the eve of the feast of St. Barbara,
December 3, 1602.

MISSION CHURCH
Mission Santa Ins (sometimes spelled
Santa Ynez) is a Spanish mission in
the present-day city of Solvang,
California, and named after St. Agnes
of Rome. Founded on September 17,
1804 by Father Estvan Taps of the
Franciscan order, the mission site was
chosen as a midway point between
Mission Santa Barbara and Mission La
Pursima Concepcin, and was
designed to relieve overcrowding at
those two missions and to serve the
Indians living east of the Coast Range.

FACTS OF MISSION
In the end-of-the-year report for 1805, Fathers Caldaza and
Gutierrez stated that another row of buildings similar to the
first one had been erected; it was 145 feet in length and 19 feet
high and wide. In the report at the end of the following year,
1806, Fathers Caldaza and Taboada noted that yet another
building had been added, 368 feet in length. To protect the
walls from rain, a gallery or corridor covered with tiles was
built measuring 75 feet long and 6 feet wide. By this time the
quadrangle typical of the California Missions had been
completed at Mission Santa Ins, a square of about 350 feet
on each side.

CHUMASH INDIANS
As the Chumash culture advanced
with basketry, stone cookware, and
the ability to harvest and store
food, the villages became more
permanent. The Chumash society
became tiered and ranged from
manual laborers to the skilled
crafters, to the chiefs, and to the
shaman priests. Women could
serve equally as chiefs and priests.
Chieftains, known as wots, were

IMPORTANT FEATURES OF SANTA INES

On February 21, 1824 a soldier beat a young Chumash Indian
and sparked the Chumash Revolt of 1824. Some of the Indians
went to get the Indians from Missions Santa Barbara and La
Pursima to help in the fight. When the fighting was over, the
Indians themselves put out the fire that had started at the
Mission. Many of the Indians left to join other tribes in the
mountains; only a few Indians remained at the Mission.
