Franciscan Friar Jun铆pero Serra, joined by a Native American companion, walked from San Diego to Mexico City for an unannounced visit with Viceroy Antonio Maria Bucareli y Urs煤a in 1773. Another friar had told him of a soldier who had raped two native women. Father Serra, nearly 60, was so outraged he decided he was going to do something about it, according to archeologist Ruben Mendoza. ... Gregory Orfalea, author of 鈥淛ourney to the Sun: Jun铆pero Serra鈥檚 Dream and the Founding of California鈥� and writer-in-residence at 蜜桃传媒 in Santa Barbara, said Father Serra cannot be accused of genocide.
