The name of my mission is Mission San Jose. Mission San Jose was founded July 11,1797 by Fray Fermin Francisco Lausen. Mission San Jose is now in Fremont, California. Mission San Jose was the 14th mission to be founded. It was one of the most prosperous missions on the northern coast. Adobe bricks were used to build the San Jose Mission. The name of Mission San Jose's tribe was Costanoans and they lived on the northern coast of California. Before the Indians came to the mission, they made their own food and made their own houses. They made their homes out of poles covered with grass and tule reeds and ferns. Every year or two they would burn the house and make a new one. At the mission some of the Indians did work and there are a lot of kinds they did. They did weaving, farming, tanning leather, and making tools. Mission San Jose was in a troublesome location known as to be an area populated with many run away neophytes and hostile tribes.The tribe worked very hard and who ever tried to run away was going to be disciplined. The padres worked and taught the Indians how to live their life style at the mission. Some of the Indians tried to run away from the missions and some of them got caught. After 1834 the mission was controlled by the Mexican Government. It became a church until there was an earthquake in 1868. In 1985 one of the most authentic restorations of all the California missions was completed in Mission San Jose. Now people from all over the world visit the authentic Mission San Jose.
