Victoria Reid (c. 1809 – December 23, 1868) (also known as Bartolomea Comicrabit), was an indigenous Tongva woman from the village of Comicranga, at what is now Santa Monica, California.[1][2] She is notable for having been one of the few Indigenous people to be granted land by the Mexican Republic, and for having respected social status in Mexican California.[1] She is also notable for her marriage as a widow to Hugo Reid, a Scottish immigrant who became a naturalized Mexican citizen.[2] After her marriage to Reid, she was known as "Victoria", and referred to respectfully as Doña Victoria.[2][3]
Bartolomea was taken as a child to Mission San Gabriel, where she was educated in Hispanic culture and converted to Christianity. At the age of 13, she entered into an arranged marriage with an indigenous man. Later, as a widow, she married a Scots immigrant. She is believed to have inspired the lead character in Helen Hunt Jackson's novel Ramona (1884).[4]
