All 21 of California's missions were connected by El Camino Real; however, Mission San Gabriel Arcangel could also be reached by two additional roads: one from Mexico; the other from the growing United States, making this mission a center of activity. This led to problems between the Native Americans and the military; so in 1775 the mission was moved to its present site. So fertile was the land here that soon it became the wealthiest and most prosperous of all the missions; this success led others to establish towns, called pueblos; the closest was the Pueblo de Los Angeles, which today is Los Angeles. Here we discover why missions became the center of Spanish culture in the state; also we learn that not all was good fortune at the mission. Buried here are nearly 6000 neophytes (Indians who became new converts); many died due to diseases brought to the area by the Europeans; also the new Republic of Mexico secularized the Missions in 1833, which ended mission life until 1862, when the U.S. Congress restored the properties back to the Catholic Church.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMission Santa Barbara\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSanta Barbara, uniquely located on California's \"south\" coast, has a Mediterranean-type climate and is known for its incredible beauty.

So fertile was the land here that soon it became the wealthiest and most prosperous of all the missions; this success led others to establish towns, called pueblos; the closest was the Pueblo de Los Angeles, which today is Los Angeles. Here we discover why missions became the center of Spanish culture in the state; also we learn that not all was good fortune at the mission. Buried here are nearly 6000 neophytes (Indians who became new converts); many died due to diseases brought to the area by the Europeans; also the new Republic of Mexico secularized the Missions in 1833, which ended mission life until 1862, when the U.S. Congress restored the properties back to the Catholic Church.\nMission Santa Barbara\nSanta Barbara, uniquely located on California's \"south\" coast, has a Mediterranean-type climate and is known for its incredible beauty. It too is no surprise to discover one of the most beautiful of California's missions can be found here, Mission Santa Barbara, the tenth of 21 missions founded in the state by Spanish Franciscan padres. Although originally planned by Father Junipero Serra, Santa Barbara Mission was established by his successor, Father Fermin Francisco de Lasuen, on December 4, 1786. This program combines a tribute to the Franciscan friars and the Native Americans who labored here along with a tour of the beautiful grounds and museum, which reveal why this mission has earned the title, \"Queen of the Missions.\"\n","path":"video\/california-missions-5-6-7","images":{"screenshots":{"small":"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/vp_thumbnail_small\/video-assets\/1129067_landscape.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/vp_thumbnail_medium\/video-assets\/1129067_landscape.jpg","large":"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/vp_thumbnail_large\/video-assets\/1129067_landscape.jpg"},"posters":{"small":"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/vp_poster_small\/video-assets\/1129067_landscape.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/vp_poster_medium\/video-assets\/1129067_landscape.jpg","large":null},"roku":{"small":"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/roku_thumbnail_small\/video-assets\/1129067_landscape.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/roku_thumbnail_medium\/video-assets\/1129067_landscape.jpg","large":null}},"classification":"E","has_burnt_in_captions":0,"has_captions":1,"year_of_production":2011,"running_time":1305,"subtype":"product","user_latest_item_played":null,"owned_content":0,"director":null,"cast":null,"video_language":"","popular":0,"is_series":0,"comment_policy":2,"comment_count":0,"is_in_watchlist":0,"taxonomies":{"subjects":[{"tid":621,"name":"North American Studies","vid":3,"vocabulary":"Catalog"}],"filmmakers":[{"tid":7673,"name":"Chip Taylor","vid":12,"vocabulary":"Filmmakers"},{"tid":7674,"name":"David Blonski","vid":12,"vocabulary":"Filmmakers"}],"cast":[],"languages":[],"tags":[{"tid":11194,"name":"California","vid":11,"vocabulary":"Tags"}]},"ratings":{"count":1,"average":3,"user":null},"user_latest_play":null,"user_progress_percentage":null,"is_kids_content":false,"csm_recommended_age":null,"csm_url":null},{"nid":129062,"status":1,"status_key":"active","created":1412014666,"changed":1412014666,"title":"California Missions 10 \u0026 11","tagline":null,"supplier_name":"Chip Taylor Communications","description_html":"\u003col start=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMission San Luis Obispo Californians are extremely proud of their state's 21 missions and nowhere is this more apparent than in San Luis Obispo, the commercial, governmental, and cultural hub of San Luis Obispo County.

Despite controversies that surround his strict disciplining of Native Americans, one has to recognize the zeal and determination of the man in doing what he believed was sincere missionary work, and to measure his accomplishments in the context of the colonial era in which he lived; overall, as we see here in this acclaimed biographical profile, his leadership proved critical to the founding of California, opennig an important page to the history of the American West. 2. Mission Carmel One of the most striking and unique of California's 21 missions is Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo or, simply, Mission Carmel. Located at the mouth of the magnificent Carmel Valley, which overlooks the Pacific Ocean, the mission is one of the state's most outstanding historic landmarks. Originally, on June 3, 1770, Father Junipero Serra founded the mission at the site of the presidio chapel on the other side of the Monterey Peninsula; then, a year later, the padre, wanting to separate the Native Americans from the Spanish soldiers, moved the mission to its present site where he set up his headquarters as Father-President. This, the second mission founded by Father Serra, was his favorite, and it is only fitting that here you find his final resting place under the altar in the beautiful Basilica. The beautiful stone church is like no other in the chain. From the distinctive bell tower outside to the tapered walls inside the Moorish architectural influence creates an air of stateliness, which is fitting for such an important structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n","description_text":"\nFather Junipero Serra \"Highly Recommended.

Despite controversies that surround his strict disciplining of Native Americans, one has to recognize the zeal and determination of the man in doing what he believed was sincere missionary work, and to measure his accomplishments in the context of the colonial era in which he lived; overall, as we see here in this acclaimed biographical profile, his leadership proved critical to the founding of California, opennig an important page to the history of the American West. 2. Mission Carmel One of the most striking and unique of California's 21 missions is Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo or, simply, Mission Carmel. Located at the mouth of the magnificent Carmel Valley, which overlooks the Pacific Ocean, the mission is one of the state's most outstanding historic landmarks. Originally, on June 3, 1770, Father Junipero Serra founded the mission at the site of the presidio chapel on the other side of the Monterey Peninsula; then, a year later, the padre, wanting to separate the Native Americans from the Spanish soldiers, moved the mission to its present site where he set up his headquarters as Father-President. This, the second mission founded by Father Serra, was his favorite, and it is only fitting that here you find his final resting place under the altar in the beautiful Basilica. The beautiful stone church is like no other in the chain. From the distinctive bell tower outside to the tapered walls inside the Moorish architectural influence creates an air of stateliness, which is fitting for such an important structure.\n\n","path":"video\/california-missions-1-2","images":{"screenshots":{"small":"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/vp_thumbnail_small\/video-assets\/1129059_landscape.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/vp_thumbnail_medium\/video-assets\/1129059_landscape.jpg","large":"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/vp_thumbnail_large\/video-assets\/1129059_landscape.jpg"},"posters":{"small":"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/vp_poster_small\/video-assets\/1129059_landscape.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/vp_poster_medium\/video-assets\/1129059_landscape.jpg","large":null},"roku":{"small":"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/roku_thumbnail_small\/video-assets\/1129059_landscape.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/roku_thumbnail_medium\/video-assets\/1129059_landscape.jpg","large":null}},"classification":"E","has_burnt_in_captions":0,"has_captions":1,"year_of_production":2011,"running_time":1220,"subtype":"product","user_latest_item_played":null,"owned_content":0,"director":null,"cast":null,"video_language":"","popular":0,"is_series":0,"comment_policy":2,"comment_count":0,"is_in_watchlist":0,"taxonomies":{"subjects":[{"tid":621,"name":"North American Studies","vid":3,"vocabulary":"Catalog"}],"filmmakers":[],"cast":[],"languages":[],"tags":[{"tid":11194,"name":"California","vid":11,"vocabulary":"Tags"}]},"ratings":{"count":3,"average":3,"user":null},"user_latest_play":null,"user_progress_percentage":null,"is_kids_content":false,"csm_recommended_age":null,"csm_url":null},{"nid":2808642,"status":1,"status_key":"active","created":1523377164,"changed":1523377164,"title":"Mission to the Moon \/ Mindy's Moon Bounce House","tagline":null,"supplier_name":"PBS","description_html":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMission to the Moon\u003c\/strong\u003e - Sean tells Jet, Sydney, and Mindy about the Apollo 11 mission, and the kids decide to do a real-life reenactment of man's first mission landing on the Moon!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMindy's Moon Bounce House\u003c\/strong\u003e - Jet gives a special birthday gift to Mindy that allows her to defy gravity.
