The resettlement of the Ohlone and other Native Americans by the Spanish at Mission Santa Clara de As\u00eds forever ruptured local cultural life-ways.\u00a0 In 1770, approximately 10,000 Ohlone lived along California\u2019s central coast (Skowronek 2002: 4).\u00a0 By the end of the Third mission site – only 42 years later – 1,000 Ohlone remained (Cortez 2002: 61).\u00a0 The Third mission site was the epicenter of this demographic and cultural disruption, as it was the place where Christianization and assimilation of the native inhabitants took place.<\/p>\n

On November 19th<\/sup>, 1781, the cornerstone of the third mission was laid near what is now the northeast corner of SCU\u2019s campus (Skowronek & Wizorek 1997: 57).\u00a0 Over the next 35 years, the third mission would be completed, as well as surrounding structures.\u00a0 However, its position near several small streams undermined the building\u2019s foundations; and in 1812 and 1818, earthquakes damaged the third mission site, and it too was abandoned.\u00a0 This mission site at once represents the disruption of a native group of people and the destructive forces of natural disasters.<\/p>\n
