Being governors, Lic. Luis Encinas and Hon. Jack Williams, respectively." The text of the plaque is also repeated in Spanish. Father Kino was a Jesuit missionary who established the first mission in Arizona in 1699. He also explored the area and drew the first accurate maps of the southwest. There is no known portrait of Father Kino; this sculpture represents what "...many imagine Father Kino to have been." The sculpture, a gift to the state of Arizona from Sonora, Mexico, is one of two. The second sculpture is located in Sonora. There is a time capsule in the base of the sculpture containing economic and demographic data on Arizona and Sonora.
