Mission Bells

We were told that the bell on the left was given to the Acoma people in exchange for 8 children the Spanish took from them, 4 boys and 4 girls. The children were sent to Mexico. The Franciscan Friar, Juan Ramirez, was so mean to the children of the village (he struck one so hard the child died) that eventually the Acoma people threw him over the cliff and killed him.
