The frat knowledge OF the people
comes from Cabrillo and Viscaino, the
former discovering the island in 1542
and finding it populated. Sixty years
later Viscsino visited the island aud
gave it its present name. He describes
the natives a. fine race and speaks
of them as being white" As to what
tribe the Indiana belonged, there
seems to be come doubt. Some believe
them to belong to the tribes now found
about Pala. while others are equally
sure that they belong to race W no diff
fered in appearance and language from
the natives OF the mainland.
