How were native American treated in San Juan Capistrano?

Answer 1

Mission Treatment of NativesYes. In addition to often being forcibly held at the missions, they were forced to perform all the labor for the missions with little or more often no pay. San Juan Capistrano was no exception to the missions' operating principles. In spite of their tremendous contribution to the well being and prosperity of the missions they were given no voice in the church proper; a church they were required to adopt but certainly knew little of. And while not a direct result of their physical treatment, many of the Indians died from the mundane European diseases they had never been exposed to. The overall treatment of the Native Americans by the missions was probably no worse than they received from any other group of European settlers.
