Native Americans were enslaved by the missionaries. They were forced to convert to Christianity by the missionaries and to leave their cultural ways to live and work at the missions. Thousands of Native Americans are buried in mass graves at California missions. They were killed by the missionaries. Your question should be asking how did the missionaries impact the Native Americans.

The mission system didn't treat the Native Americans well. They were beaten, not allowed to practice their traditions, and killed. Many missions have mass graves of Native Americans.
His goal was to build missions in California and to convert the Native Americans living there. The Native Americans were treated very cruelty by him and abused. At many of the missions mass Native American graves were found by historians.
Taphophobia - the fear of graves or being buried alive =)
Once they converted the mission Native Americans they taught the Catholic religion. Basically the mission system kept the Native Americans at the missions as slaves. They couldn't leave the mission and historians have found mass graves of Native Americans.
The Native Americans were converted to the Catholic Church there and learned to do the work of the mission. The graveyard of the mission has mass graves of Native Americans that have been uncovered by state historians.
Egyptians, when buried, are buried in graves much the same as other people.
to return ancient american indian human remains and artifacts to tribes
The missions didn't help the Native Americans. Many were killed by the priests and put into mass graves ( the graves are still there), they were not allowed to practice their cultural rites or to speak native languages, and they were required to work at the mission. I think even worse than the mission system was the government Native American schools. Children were taken from their parents and tribe to live at the schools. They were not allowed to speak native languages or learn the traditional things about their tribe.
He had 2 graves because his arm had to amputated and they were buried seperatly.
They really didn't help them. The Native Americans were treated harshly and often beaten. State historians have found mass Native American graves on mission grounds.
