Yes. There were pre-Mission villages all over northern Los Angeles County. The area of San Fernando held many villages. For example, the Mission San Fernando in Mission Hills, California was established on indigenous lands that became known as Achoicominga. Rudy Ortega Sr. Park in San Fernando, California sits on the village of Pasekinga, which became known in the Mexican period as an historic Mexican land grant held in title by Tribal Captain Rogerio Rocha for the San Fernando Mission Indians. The Missions recruited Native American slave-labor from surrounding villages and the lands that the Mission San Fernando occupied had been inhabited by our ancestors for centuries.
