This is a statue of Chief Solano

He was the leader of the Suisuni tribe. He was a good friend of General Vallejo; they considered each other allies. General Vallejo made Solano a "chief" and had him go to war against his own people to move them from the land and control them.

General Vallejo first met Solano in Mission Delores. Chief Solano was also knows as Semo Yeto to his tribe.

Sena was another name he was known by. He was named Francisco Solano when he was baptized and Mission Solano. He was given the name Sem Yeto after he battled a grizzly bear.
