"Mission Indians" describe the tribes that were heavly involved with Catholic Missions - mostly in the California area.
The Spaniards included the Indians in their culture. They intermarried and used them for labor.

They found no use for labor from them, since Indians could easily run away and was not a good source of labor (indentured servants were).

They were financed to do so...it was a way of colonizing California and they believed that by converting Indians to Christianity they were saving their souls.
