What religion did the friars bring to the mission and the native American tribe living at the missions?
The friars were Catholic, and so were the missions they founded. But there were a number of different kinds of Christian denominations that sent missionaries to the "new world." Back then, Christians believed the Native Americans (or Indians) were practicing a false religion and that they needed to be converted to Christianity. Catholic and Protestant missionaries were very active in preaching to the natives and either persuading them or forcing them to become Christians.
How were the Indians treated on all twenty one missions?
Generally all of the missions mistreated the Native Americans living at the mission or in the area.

Mass graves have been found at the missions that contain Native American bodies. It was not a good life for the Native Americans.
