The History of the Pala Indians
There were twenty-one Missions established by the Franciscan Fathers in California, during the Spanish rule. In connection with these Missions certain Asistencias, or chapels were also found.
The difference between a mission and a chapel is often times not understood, even by writers well what might be termed the parent church, while the chapel was an auxiliary or branch establishment.
The little mission Chapel or Assitencia of San Antonio de Padua de Pala, has been an increasing object of interest ever since the Cupa or Warner's Ranch Indians came and settled in Pala
when Kupa Indians were removed from their time-immemorial home by order of the supreme Court of United States. A Century ago the beautiful and pictureque Pala Valley was inhabited by the Indians (Luisen'o).
