In Santa Barbara, education for Indigenous peoples often involved a mix of formal and informal learning. Mission schools, established by Spanish missionaries in the 18th and 19th centuries, aimed to convert and educate Native Americans in Christian teachings, Spanish language, and agricultural practices. However, these institutions frequently stripped away cultural identities and languages. Additionally, Indigenous communities also relied on traditional knowledge transmitted through oral traditions and communal practices.
