Most of them were assimilated into the society; nowadays between 60% and 80% of the population is considered mestizo, or the result of interracial marriages between Native Americans and Spanish conquistadors.

The fraction that was unassimilated, consisted mainly of semi-nomadic groups that received the same treatment of their counterparts in the United States: often sacked from their lands, fleeing to increasingly inhospitable lands, such as the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts to the north, or the Lacandon Jungle to the south.

Badly. They were swindled, mistreated, and exploited. Native culture was suppressed in favor of European standards, and Christianity was imposed.
