Detailed explanation-1: -Missions received less aid from the Spanish government and few Spanish were willing to become mission priests. In increasing numbers Indians deserted and mission buildings fell into disrepair. Mexican independence led to the final demise of California’s mission system.
Detailed explanation-2: -The general purpose of the missions was to “reduce” or congregate the often nomadic tribes into a settlement, convert them to Christianity, and teach them crafts and agricultural techniques.
Detailed explanation-3: -How did the mission system affect the ways of life of California Indians? Mission Indians could no longer practice their own beliefs, lost freedom, and began to farm more than hut their food.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
