Sonoita. A Papago rancheria on the 

 headwaters of the Eio Salado of Sonora, 

 just below the Arizona-Sonora boundary. 

 It was visited in 1699 by the Jesuit Father 

 Kino, who applied to it the name San 

 Marcelo. It afterward became a mis- 

 sion, the name of which, apparently in 

 May 1751, was changed to San Miguel in 

 accordance with the wish of the Marques 

 de Villapuente, who, at his death in 1739, 

 endowed this mission and that of Busanic. 

 In the same year (1751), during the Pima 

 revolt against the Spaniards, the mission 

 was destroyed and its missionary, Hein- 

 rich Ruen, killed by the natives. In 1776, 

 when visited by Anza and Font, it was 

 still in ruins. In 1865 the settlement 

 contained 50 Papago families, commonly 

 known as "Sand Papagos.'-' (f. w. h.)

Sonoma (from the Yukian Wappo terms 

 .so or tso, 'ground,' and noma, 'place,' 

 'location'). A name probably applied 

 fir.st by the Franciscan fathers to the 

 vicinity of what is now the site of the 



town of Sonoma, Sonoma co., Cal., where 

 the last mission in California was estab- 

 lished (See San Fr-andsco Solano). It is 

 said that they took the name from that of 

 one of the chiefs among the neophytes 

 whom the fathers gathered about them at 

 their mission, but it is not definitely 

 known to what stock this chief belonged. 

 The name, however, came to be applied to 

 allthelndiansofthemission and vicinity, 

 and as there were people here of at least 

 four or five distinct stocks, it is easy to 

 account forstatements made by such early 

 writers as Chamisso, who says that the 

 ' ' Sonomi ' ' spoke a language similar to the 

 "Tamal," that is, a Miwok or Moque- 

 lumnan dialect. In fact the mission of 

 Sonoma was situated in territory formerly 

 belonging to Indians of this stock, and it 

 is probable that a very considerable num- 

 ber of its converts were Moquelumnan 

 Indians. The Sonomo, or Sonomi, men- 

 tioned by Taylor on the authority of 

 settlers as speaking a dialect similar to 

 that of the Suisun, were a later immigra- 

 tion into the valley; these were Wintun 

 brought in to the mission from the vicinity 

 of what is now Solano co. (s. A. b. )
