Colonization
Records from the
San Gabriel missions record 347 baptisms from Juyubit between 1774 and 1804. However, because of incorrect and/or inaccurate village naming records, more Juyubit villagers may have been baptized at these missions.[4] Villagers from involved in the 1785 revolt on Mission San Gabriel led by Toypurina, a medicine woman from the village of Jaichivit.[5]
One woman from Juyubit, Eulalia María, was baptized at the age of six and became a
