Maintenance of Tribal Communities in the California Spanish Missions (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah Peelo. Christina Spellman. Lee Panich.

However, others maintain that indigenous peoples were not only part of a mission community, but they were simultaneously part of diverse traditional village...
