94-552: A 1532 lawsuit, named Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, testified under oath that he was "natural" [ sic ] of Palma de Micergilio, which many misunderstood as if being born or native of now Palma del Río , a town in the province of Córdoba in Spain. As an example of the difference between being born/native and natural/naturalized F. Pizarro himself used to say he was "natural y nacido" (natural and born) in Trujillo, Spain. Other details of

141-564: A Rodrigues family living in São Lourenço de Cabril around 1520. Alvar Nunes, a Portuguese pilot, was the co-owner of the ship Santa María de Buena Esperança, which was very likely rebaptized as Santa María de La Victoria, Cabrilho's fleet's second largest ship. As a result, it is likely that the two largest ships in the fleet that discovered California were property of Portuguese seamen. António Fernandes, another Portuguese also living in Nicaragua,

188-425: A full-sized, fully functional, and historically accurate replica of Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo's flagship, San Salvador . The construction of the replica was based on historical and archeological research into early Spanish and Portuguese shipbuilding techniques. The construction was carried out in full public view on the shores of San Diego Bay by professional boat builders, assisted by scores of volunteers. Her keel

235-406: A hereditary basis, but subject to an assessment of the individual leader's competence. Leaders' authority does not seem to have been extensive. Kinship and community membership seems to have been defined to a large extent on the basis of patrilineal inheritance . Two levels of patrilineages (or clans, sibs) were recognized, corresponding to the šimułs of other western Yuman groups. Maselkwa were

282-601: A lapse that mariners would repeat for the next two centuries and more, most likely because its entrance is frequently shrouded by fog. The expedition may have reached as far north as the Russian River or even the Columbia before autumn storms forced them to turn back. Because of the vagueness of his description, it is uncertain which northern river the expedition sighted. Coming back down the coast, Cabrillo entered Monterey Bay , naming it "Bahia de Los Pinos". On November 23, 1542,

329-644: A larger-than-life statue of Cabrillo, donated by the government of Portugal, as well as a plaque honoring him donated in 1935 by the Portuguese ambassador to the United States. A museum in the park focuses on Cabrillo and his voyages of discovery. Every September Cabrillo Festival Inc. hosts the Cabrillo Festival, an annual three-day celebration of his discovery of San Diego Bay , including a re-enactment of his landing at Ballast Point. Another Cabrillo Monument

376-669: A variety of sources. These include accounts of early explorers, such as Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo and Sebastián Vizcaíno ; from late eighteenth and early nineteenth century observers, such as Luis Sales and José Longinos Martínez ; and from twentieth century ethnographers, including Peveril Meigs , William D. Hohenthal, and Jesús Ángel Ochoa Zazueta. Aboriginal Kiliwa subsistence was based on hunting and gathering of natural animal and plants rather than on agriculture. At least two dozen different plants were food resources, and many others were used for medicine or as materials for construction or craft products. Pit-roasted Agave (mezcal; maal )

423-612: Is an ancient house where local tradition claims he was born. Local people, and alleged local descendants of branches of his ancient family with the same surname ("Rodrigues Cabrilho"), call the house Casa do Galego ( House of the Galician ) and Casa do Americano ( House of the American ). In January 2023, a new preprint (now peer reviewed and published in the Bulletin for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies) announced new documents about

470-573: Is called the Cabrillo Highway. The Cabrillo Bridge and Cabrillo Freeway ( California State Route 163 ) running through San Diego's Balboa Park are also named for him. There are streets named for him in many cities in California. The SS Cabrillo was a wooden steamer launched in 1914 to serve as a ferry across the San Pedro Channel to Santa Catalina Island. It was later requisitioned by

564-1018: Is located on San Miguel Island . In the state of California, September 28th is officially "Cabrillo Day". A civic organization of Portuguese-Americans primarily in California is called the Cabrillo Club. In northern California, the Point Cabrillo Light is named after him. San Pedro , part of the city of Los Angeles , has Cabrillo Beach and the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium . Schools named for him include Cabrillo College in Aptos, California , high schools in Lompoc and Long Beach , and several middle and elementary schools. The portion of California State Route 1 that runs from Las Cruces in Santa Barbara County north to San Francisco

611-455: Is now San Diego Bay and named it "San Miguel". A little over a week later he reached Santa Catalina Island (October 7), which he named "San Salvador", after his flagship. On sending a boat to the island "a great crowd of armed Indians appeared" – whom, however, they later "befriended". Nearby San Clemente Island was named "Victoria", in honor of the third ship of the fleet. The next morning, October 8, Cabrillo came to San Pedro Bay , which

658-587: Is now remembered as the first European to travel the California coast, and many parks, schools, buildings and streets in California bear his name. Most notably, the National Park Service operates Cabrillo National Monument , overlooking the bay and ocean from Point Loma in San Diego , commemorating his first landing in California and offering views of San Diego and the Pacific Ocean. The monument features

705-475: The Ensenada Municipality (settlements of Arroyo de León (Ejido Kiliwas), Ejido San Francisco R. Serrano (Valle San Matías), Ensenada, Francisco Zarco (Guadalupe), Juntas Neji, La Zorra, Lázaro Cárdenas (Valle de la Trinidad), Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, Parcela Número 19 (Familia Castro Ejido Nalta), and Rancho las Pinzas). Information about the cultural practices of the pre-contact Kiliwa comes from

752-624: The Pacific coast in search of trade opportunities, perhaps to find a way to China (for the full extent of the northern Pacific was unknown) or to find the mythical Strait of Anián (or Northwest Passage ) connecting the Pacific Ocean with Hudson Bay . Cabrillo built and owned the flagship of his venture (three ships), and stood to profit from any trade or treasure. In 1540, the fleet sailed from Acajutla , El Salvador , and reached Navidad, Mexico on Christmas Day. While in Mexico, Pedro de Alvarado went to

799-596: The 17th century. According to his biographer Harry Kelsey, he took an indigenous woman as his common-law wife and sired several children, including at least three daughters. Later he married Beatriz Sanchez de Ortega in Seville during a hiatus in Spain. She returned to Guatemala with him and bore him two sons. Those two sons were named Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo de Medrano, his heir, and the younger Diego Sanchez de Ortega (the latter, named after his maternal uncle). His namesake son and heir, Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo de Medrano ,

846-448: The 200-ton galleon and flagship San Salvador , the smaller La Victoria (c. 100 tons), and the lateen -rigged, twenty-six oared "fragata" or "bergantin" San Miguel .

Before the end of the month they had passed Baja Point (named "Cabo del Engaño" by de Ulloa in 1539) and entered "uncharted waters, where no Spanish ships had been before". On September 28, he landed in what

893-473: The San Quintín area in 1542. There were few subsequent contacts during the next two centuries. The Jesuit missionary-explorer Wenceslaus Linck came overland from the south into the eastern part of Kiliwa territory in 1766. The expedition to establish Spanish settlements in California, led by Gaspar de Portolà and Junípero Serra passed through the western portions. The Dominican mission of Santo Domingo

940-598: The United States Army and served as a troop transport in northern California during World War II. In 1992, the United States Postal Service issued a 29¢ stamp in honor of Cabrillo. The Flag of San Diego features the number 1542 to represent Cabrillo's "discovery" of San Diego Bay in that year. Rodriguez Seamount in the Pacific Ocean is named for him. The Maritime Museum of San Diego , in partnership with Cabrillo National Monument , has built

987-418: The aboriginal population of the Kiliwa was about 1,300 individuals, or a density of about 0.3 persons per square kilometer. He excluded the southwestern "Nyakipa" territory from his estimates, which would raise the total to at least 2,000. Meigs considered his estimate to be a "conservative" one. However, Roger C. Owen has argued that Meigs' population estimates were substantially too high. They currently live in

1034-516: The assistance of the town of Nochistlán , which was under siege by hostile natives, and was killed when his horse fell on him, crushing his chest. Following Alvarado's death, the viceroy took possession of Alvarado's fleet. Part of the fleet was sent off to the Spanish East Indies under Ruy López de Villalobos and three of the ships were sent north under the command of Cabrillo. On June 27, 1542, Cabrillo set out from Navidad with three ships:

1081-442: The east coast to harvest fish and shellfish and to collect salt. Crop growing and stock raising were introduced during the historic period. Another highly valued food resource that was introduced during the historic period was wild honey. The traditional material culture of the Kiliwa was not highly elaborate, as would be expected for a seasonally mobile group. Traditional leadership roles in communities and kin groups were held on

1128-487: The eastern Kiliwa. Little archaeological research has as yet been done within Kiliwa territory. A partial exception is a sampling program of systematic survey along the west coast between El Rosario and San Quintín by Jerry D. Moore. Radiocarbon dates and Clovis points from farther south on the peninsula suggest that the initial occupation to the north must have occurred prior to 11,000 years ago. The Kiliwa first encountered Europeans when Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo reached

1175-484: The indigenous Mixtec people at what would eventually become the city of Oaxaca , in Mexico. Little is known of what Cabrillo did there. In 1539, Francisco de Ulloa , who had been commissioned by Cortés, explored and named the Sea of Cortés ( Gulf of California ) and reached nearly as far north as the 30th parallel. Cabrillo was then commissioned by the new Viceroy of New Spain , Antonio de Mendoza , to lead an expedition up

1222-472: The legitimate son of Geronimo Cabrillo de Aldana; the grandson of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo de Medrano; and great-grandson of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo. On 24 May 1670, Esteban de Medrano y Solórzano was recorded as the chancellor and regidor of the Audiencia of Santiago de Guatemala . His discoveries went largely unnoticed at the time, so none of his place names were permanently adopted. Despite this, Cabrillo

1269-420: The little fleet arrived back in "San Salvador" (Santa Catalina Island) to overwinter and make repairs. There, around Christmas Eve, Cabrillo stepped out of his boat and splintered his shin when he stumbled onto a jagged rock while trying to rescue some of his men from attacking Tongva warriors. The injury became infected and developed gangrene , and he died on January 3, 1543, and was buried. A possible headstone

1316-580: The lives of individuals: Traditional narratives are conventionally classed as myths, legends, tales, and oral histories. The oral literature recorded for the Kiliwa includes narratives that can be assigned to each of these categories. The Kiliwa creation myth conspicuously diverges from those of the other Yuman-speaking groups. However, the Kiliwa name for the creator, Metipá, recalls similar figures in other Yuman myths. Juan Rodr%C3%ADguez Cabrillo Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo ( Portuguese : João Rodrigues Cabrilho ; c. 1497 – January 3, 1543)

1363-473: The names of numerous Chumash villages on the California coast and adjacent islands in October 1542 – then located in the two warring provinces of Xexo (ruled by an "old woman", now Santa Barbara County, California ) and Xucu (now Ventura County, California ). On November 13 they sighted and named "Cabo de Pinos" (possibly either Point Pinos or Point Reyes ), but missed the entrance to San Francisco Bay ,

1410-432: The older son and heir named Alonso Rodríguez Cabrillo de Medrano, who inherited his father's encomiendas, and the younger Geronimo Cabrillo de Aldana, father of Esteban de Medrano y Solórzano. The younger Geronimo Cabrillo de Aldana inherited the family encomiendas after the death of his older brother Alonso Rodríguez Cabrillo de Medrano. Geronimo's son and heir Esteban de Medrano y Solórzano wrote his will in 1688 as

1457-608: The preprint also presents a 1758 document showing that Mount Cabrilho was located nearby Lapela de Cabril, thus proving that Cabrilho indeed existed as a name in Portugal. Cabrillo shipped for Havana as a young man and joined forces with Hernán Cortés in Mexico (then called New Spain ). Later, his success in mining gold in Guatemala made him one of the richest of the conquistadores in Mexico. He accompanied Francisco de Orozco to subdue

1504-782: The smaller, more strongly localized groups. Several maselkwa might collectively constitute an ichiupu . On the broadest level, all Kiliwa were believed to be descended from four mythic brothers, the sons of the creator. Social recreations included a variety of games: racing with balls, shinny, top spinning, archery, dice, a guessing game, and, most importantly, peón. Music was produced by singing and by instruments, including flutes, rattles, clappers, and bullroarers. Shamans were believed to be able to effect magical cures of disease or injuries, or to cause them. They presided at some religious ceremonies, and they were thought to transform themselves into animals or birds and to bring rain. Most documented Kiliwa ceremonies were linked to rites of passage in

1551-469: The source for Herrera's description is unknown. Certain historians, such as Edward Kritzler , claim that Cabrillo was possibly descended from Jewish conversos . Others point to the many flaws in Kritzler's work, including lack of evidence for such claims. Some historians have long believed that Cabrillo was from Spain, and a set of documents discovered in 2015 gave strength to that opinion. A witness from

1598-525: The surname Cabrilho and was pronounced at the time Cabrilhe in Galician and Cabrillo in Spanish, according to the historian João Soares Tavares, biographer of João Rodrigues Cabrilho. The name still exists in Portugal as a surname, and several localities named Cabril in Beira Alta and neighboring regions such as Castro Daire, Viseu or Pampilhosa da Serra have been claimed as Cabrillo's birthplace. In Lapela there

1645-463: The toponym Cabrilho's Bay (B. de Cabrilho) shows at nearly 40 degrees north. The navigator's name is written in the Portuguese form (with lh) for the first time in any known map of that period. Since the 1604 map dates from around the same time as Herrera's statement (around 1615) about Cabrilho being Portuguese, the appearance of Cabrilho's name in this old map provides support to Cabrilho's Portuguese nationality. Other than Cabrilho's Bay in California,

1692-424: The witness's biography match known facts about the explorer. A leader of San Diego's Portuguese community cautioned that the new evidence must be carefully evaluated, and requested that copies of the documents be turned over to the Portuguese government for study. Lapela, in the parish of Cabril and a municipality of Montalegre (Portugal), is the region where allegedly the nickname "Cabrilha" originated. It became

1739-556: Was Portuguese. Bartolome Ferrer, Cabrilho's pilot major, was not Spanish-born but from Albissola, Savona, near Genoa. Carbon-14 data validates the early 1530s as the time when Cabrilho offered a crucifix to his Rodrigues family in Lapela de Cabril, in agreement with their ancestral family tradition. The 2023 preprint also presents a 1604 California Spanish-based map, made by the Florentine cartographer Matteo di Jacopo Neroni da Peccioli, where

1786-543: Was a Portuguese maritime explorer best known for investigations of the West Coast of North America , undertaken on behalf of the Spanish Empire . He was the first European to explore present-day California, navigating along the coast of California in 1542–1543 on his voyage from New Spain (modern Mexico). Cabrillo's nationality – Portuguese or Spanish – has been debated more recently. He

1833-536: Was born in Guatemala in the year 1536 and died in 1592, Lima, Peru. According to Kelsey, the "de Medrano" part of his name was only added later by himself, not by baptism, however his research and biography of Cabrillo has been extensively criticized by Martin Torodash from Duke University in the Hispanic American Historical Review (1987). Cabrillo's heir Don Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo de Medrano

1880-433: Was described as Portuguese by Spanish chronicler Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas ; in his Historia General de los hechos de los Castellanos en las Islas y tierra firme del Mar Oceano , written 60 years after Cabrillo's death, Herrera referred to Cabrillo as Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo . Of the few locations in Portugal who used to claim to be his birthplace, only Lapela de Cabril keeps having some legitimacy to do so. However,

1927-621: Was founded in Kiliwa territory near the coast in 1775. It was followed by an inland mission of San Pedro Mártir in 1794. By around the time of Mexican independence in 1821, the population at the Kiliwa missions had sharply declined. In 1929, Meigs reported that only 36 adult Kiliwa were then living, primarily at three settlements around Arroyo León, at San Isidoro, and in Valle Trinidad. Twenty years later in 1949, Hohenthal found 30 adult Kiliwa living at four settlements, including Arroyo León, Agua Caliente, La Parra, and Tepí. Meigs suggested that

1974-681: Was laid in April 2011; her first official public unveiling was in September 2015 when she led a parade of tall ships. The replica ship now sails on regular tours in the waters of the Southern California coast as an educational historical resource. Proponents to change the name for Cabrillo College say Cabrillo left a legacy of indigenous exploitation. A faculty-led resolution delivered to Cabrillo College President Matt Wetstein accused Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo of enslaving indigenous people and profiting from

2021-452: Was later found on San Miguel Island. His second-in-command brought the remainder of the party back to Navidad, where they arrived April 14, 1543. A notary's official report of Cabrillo's expedition was lost; all that survives is a summary of it made by another investigator, Andrés de Urdaneta , who also had access to ships' logs and charts. No printed account of Cabrillo's voyage appeared before historian Antonio de Herrera's account early in

2068-662: Was named "Baya de los Fumos" (English: Smoke Bay). The following day they anchored overnight in Santa Monica Bay . Going up the coast Cabrillo saw Anacapa Island , which they learned from the Indigenous People was uninhabited. The fleet spent the next week in the islands, mostly anchored in Cuyler Harbor, a bay on the northeastern coast of San Miguel Island . On October 18 the expedition saw Point Conception , which they named "Cabo de Galera". Cabrillo's expedition recorded

2115-542: Was the encomendero of Xicalpa, Jocopila and Comitlán, and twice town magistrate of Santiago de Guatemala and owner of a cattle ranch along the road connecting Xicalapa to Miahuatlán. In February 1579 he helped Francisco Díaz Del Castillo as a witness to his testimony . He served as an active alcalde of the Cabildo in 1577. He was also involved in a dispute over the encomienda of Cobán . Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo de Medrano married with Isabel de Aldana and had two sons,

2162-536: Was the most important plant food. In the fall season, harvesting of acorns and pine nuts from the higher-elevation portions of Kiliwa territory was a major activity. Rabbits and deer were the most important animal food sources, but a wide range of others were also hunted, including pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, medium-sized mammals such as mountain lions, many small mammal species, birds, reptiles, fish, and shellfish. Jackrabbits and quail were hunted communally, by being driven into nets. Treks were made to San Felipe on

2209-509: Was the possible owner of the ship Anton Hernandez , indicated alternatively as the second largest ship in Cabrilho's fleet. According to Cabrilho's elder son, his father was one of the first settlers of Nicaragua. In November 1529, Juan Rodríguez portugués and Alvar Nuñez portugués were in Léon de Nicaragua, paying for the gold mines of Santa María de Buena Esperança defence garrison, suggesting Cabrilho
