Our History- The Descendants of California Sacred Lands

We are the descendants of California Sacred Lands. Our Ancestors founded Baja and Alta California. We have connections to all 21 Missions, in particular, our Great (3) Grandmother Ascension Solórzano Garcia Cervantes Rivera is buried at the San Juan Bautista Mission. We have records that contain our family lineage from the Spanish Colonial Period (1769-1821) and the Mexican Period (1821-1848) and the Anglo American Periods (present). Our Ancestors were the first explorers, settlers, ranchers, governors, military, soldiers, mayordomos, judges, and ranch owners. California is our ancestral land.

Our Values- To take care of our youth and elders.
