Detailed explanation-1: -The missions created new communities where the Native Americans received religious education and instruction. The Spanish established pueblos (towns) and presidios (forts) for protection. The natives lived in the missions until their religious training was complete.
Detailed explanation-2: -Historical accounts report that the California mission Indians were fed three meals a day of maize, wheat, beans, legumes, fresh vegetables, and meat (Webb 1952). (Given that the missionaries wrote these accounts, some may have overstated the amount of food provided.)
Detailed explanation-3: -The missions served as agencies of the Church and State to spread the faith to natives and also to pacify them for the State’s aims.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mission Santa Cruz was dedicated by Fermín Francisco de Lasuén on August 28, 1791. The Native Americans of the area were the Yokut and Ohlone. They helped the Spanish construct the mission buildings, raise livestock, and grow grain.
