In this episode we embark on a journey through the history of California missions, shedding light on their multifaceted legacy. While these missions played a pivotal role in shaping the state's history, they also bear the weight of a dark past - one intertwined with the actions of certain priests.

We won't shy away from the uncomfortable truths. We'll delve into the complexities of priestly involvement, acknowledging instances of exploitation, cultural assimilation, and mistreatment.

As we delve into the shadows of the past, we hope to foster a deeper understanding of the nuanced history of California missions.  Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of history, legacy, and whitewashing in episode of Nightmares of the Americas Indigenous Tales.
