CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Guaicuri Indians Other missionaries followed and the work grew, largely assisted by the benefactors of the Pious Fund, until, at the close of the Jesuit period, there existed along the peninsula a chain of fourteen missions. Most of the earlier missions were within the territory of the Guaicuri, including San Luis Gonzaga, where Baegert was stationed, or the Pericuri, the northern Cochimi being visited later. After Salvatierra, who died in 1717, the most prominent name associated with these missions is probably that of Father Ugarte, who first explored the Gulf of California in a ship of his own building. www.newadvent.org /cathen/07044b.htm   (792 words)

Hundreds of Years History Behind Loreto - Loreto Bay Company – 5 Star Baja Mexico Real Estate and Vacation The truth is, the only way to really understand all of Loreto’s history is to sit in a shady courtyard and listen to one of the locals tell you the story over a lazy afternoon.

However, a short trip into the mountains and canyons close by reveals well-preserved cave paintings that tell of life in Loreto long ago. www.loretobay.com /cms/page1191.cfm   (367 words)

GORP - Getting Boulder in Catavina - To Hell with Tijuana   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) The last accounts of the Cochimi, a people who settled this desert but never made it beyond Paleolithicism, reported that the paintings came from their ancestors, whom they referred to as"The Giants."

According to the invading Spanish, the Cochimi had little to eat for most of the year, but when the fruits of the organ pipe cactus were ripe, the Cochimi would spend weeks feasting and engaging in massive orgies drunk on the sweet fruit. As we turn in for the night, we talk about how good it would be to find a restaurant and a six-pack of beer. gorp.away.com /gorp/location/latamer/mexico/bajanorte3.htm   (500 words)
