Though Mission Indians were converted long ago, those teachings
were not evident in the continuance of their early folklore, passed down
from generation to generation. Cinon Duro, the last of long-ago chiefs
of the Dieguenos, related their traditions of in the following legends
in the late 1890s.
The Mission Indians of San Diego County, California, include the
Dieguenos of Yuman heritage and fragments of Shoshonean tribes
related to people of Mexican Baja California. The Dieguenos
therefore have Aztec influences in their culture.
