		For anthropologists, the reports left by the two Portolá land expeditions that traveled from Santa María de los Ángeles to San Diego in the spring and summer of 1769 provide the earliest written view of the native cultures and peoples of Baja California's northwestern interior.
		The Franciscan missionary Juan Crespí served as a member of the lead party and as a designated chronicler for both groups.
		Unfortunately, ethnography ran a distant second to geography among Crespí's intellectual interests, but his narratives nonetheless contain a number of valuable notes concerning the local inhabitants who were encountered along the route.

		Fray Juan Crespi, another member of Perez's expedition, observed that the people did not possess these items "to any great amount." In one canoe, he saw an iron harpoon head "in the form of a pike." Martinez speculated that these "may be relics" from the men lost on Alexsei Chirikov's 1741 voyage.
		Chirikov had lost 15 men and two small boats 33 years earlier and over 300 kilometres (185 miles) to the north - it is unlikely that the volume of iron observed on the 1774 voyage could be accounted for by this small iron source.
		Crespi also observed "some pieces of iron and copper and pieces of knives" in the canoes of Hesquiat people visiting their ship when it was off the west coast of Vancouver Island.

		As Crespi moved over the Los Angeles plains, he noted that the plains were covered with grasses; the Indians gave the Spaniard baskets of seeds of sage and other grasses.
		Crespi said the “soil is fl and loamy, and is capable of producing every kind of grain and fruit which may be planted.” As the Spanish party headed west to the sea, Crespi described a stream lined with herbs and watercress next to a grove of alder trees.

		This leader was Juan de Oñate, who, in 1597, set out for New Mexico accompanied by ten missionary padres, and in September of that year established the second church in what is now United States territory.
		Fray Juan Crespí was sent to join Rivera, and Fray Lasuen met him at Santa Maria in order to bestow the apostolic blessing ere the journey began, and on March 24 Lasuen stood at Velicatá and saw the little band of pilgrims start northward for the land of the gentiles, driving their herds before them.
		The god of the San Juan Indians was Chinigchinich, and it is possible, from similarity in the ways of appearing and disappearing, that he is the monster Tauguitch of the Sabobas and Cahuillas described in The Legend of Tauguitch and Algoot.
