Talk:Quapa

Why I removed citations and a source
The Smithsonian has been publishing bulletins for over a century. I finally found the one carelessly cited in this article and it referred to the village of Tuyunga, not Quapa. That makes a difference. I removed the source. The remaining one does refer to Quapa, but it did not say anything about Padre Santa Maria. Neither did the Smithsonian bulletin. I will hunt down what solid sources I can find that refer the people of Quapa and add them to the article. These people deserve that respect. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 03:12, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Why I removed the reference to Quapa as part of Mission San Fernando
The source cited for that was the one I talked in the above comment about removing. Instead, I found a source, Hugo Reid, who was an early inhabitant of Los Angeles, had married a Gabrielina, and whose writings were valued enough by ethnologists to collect and preserve. He said Quapa was part of the San Gabriel mission. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 04:50, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
