A mathematician, astronomer, geographer, mapmaker, explorer, rancher, and ally to the Indigenous people of the PimerÃa Alta, he made numerous explorations on horseback or on foot. Many journeys were taken with Native guides, and some with soldier Juan Manje, resulting in the first detailed map of the region. He traveled largely unknown trails through lands inhabited by unfamiliar tribes, and many of the missions he founded still stand today, including the well-known San Xavier del Bac. This presentation focuses on Father Kino’s expeditions, maps, missions, and the 1966 discovery of his remains in Magdalena de Kino.
