Huntington Library's New Data Base Chronicling California Indians

Earlier this week the Huntington Library unveiled a large data bank that chronicles the history of more than 100,000 Native Americans who lived in California's Spanish missions during the 18th and 19th centuries. Larry talks with historian Steve Hackel about the records which include information from handwritten documentation of baptisms, marriages, and deaths at twenty-one Catholic missions and two other sites between 1769 and 1850.
