Missionaries. Catholic and Protestant.
To shelter the tired missionaries and soldiers and to teach the Catholic religion to the Native Americans.
The country is a majority of Catholic. It was settled by the Spanish who always had Catholic missionaries with them.
From the missionaries, the Indians learned how to farm and how to take care of farm animals. Many missionaries also tried to "civilize" the Native Americans by teaching them a Western, monotheistic religion rather than the Native polytheistic religion that seemed incorrect and pagan to Western missionaries.

religion
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.
Mostly Roman Catholic, I believe.
