Question

Which of the following is not something that Spanish missionaries wanted to change about American Indians?

A.their food crops

B.the practice of men having more than one wife

C.the practice of revenge

D.some of their dances and celebrations

Answer 1

The California Indians lived off the land and had a very unregimented life, so the biggest shocks to them after moving into a mission were: 1) life was very regimented - you got up in the moring at a fixed hour, ate breakfast lunch and dinner at a fixed hour, attended mass etc. on a schedule that was uniform for all of the missions 2) you had to master a new language (Spanish, of course) and 3) you were quite busy working and didn't have the freedom you were used to...to wander into the woods on a nice day or go fishing.
