Yes, there were instances of unrest and rebellion at Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, particularly during the period of Spanish colonization and the Mexican War of Independence. Indigenous people often resisted mission policies and practices, leading to conflicts and uprisings against the mission system. Notably, the 1785 uprising by the Tongva people, who were displaced by the mission's establishment, highlighted their resistance to colonial authority. These rebellions were part of a broader pattern of Indigenous resistance throughout California during this era.
