- circa 1824

Chumash accounts state that priests at Mission Santa Inés discussed killing natives the following summer.
Two separate accounts from the early 1900s indicate that a Spanish page overheard priests talking about having the natives killed. This rumor, combined with the assault, fueled the resentment and led to the seeking of help from other mission tribes.
