Looking Back : Images from the Archives
In 1839 , Lupe Yñigo , an Ohlone Indian , obtained his liberty from Mission Santa Clara and returned to the place of his birth , known as Posolmi , on the presentday site of Moffett Field . Five years later , Yñigo was formally granted the Rancho Posolmi by the Mexican government , making him one of the few local Native Americans to be granted a rancho . The Thompson & West Atlas of Santa Clara County from 1876 ( above ) shows the extents of the rancho , labeled as the “ Ynigo Reservation ,” and the names of families who later occupied the subdivided rancho lands . Yñigo lived on his rancho until his death in 1864 , at the age of 83 . The Bayshore / NASA VTA light rail station features artwork by Ohlone artist Linda Yamane that incorporates a portrait of Yñigo and commemorates the local Ohlone peoples ’ continuous connection to this land . We invite you to join us on November 6 to learn more about the history of and heritage of local indigenous communities ! For more information , look to page 1 of this newsletter !
