The new religion that the spanish taught Indians was cristianity and now we know about both catholics and cristians. Those are the new religions now in the twenty-fist century.
They had missions and institutional support for religion.
They were slaves to whatever the Spanish wanted done and to build and support the infrastructure. They were the converts to Catholicism, who built the churches, who paved the way for more missionaries/missions. They were the ones who taught the Spanish how to farm and grow food and the animals to eat in the new land. Then they were the ones who did the farming. They were the guides who showed the Spanish even more lands to conquer and colonize. They were the ones the were forced to give up there gold and made the Spanish rich from all the new world gold the stripped from the natives. So California and all Indians were the cannon fodder that helped the Spanish colonial system prosper.

The Spanish crown, was unwilling to see the growth of a new nobility and the decline of the population made them less attractive to descendents of conquerers. The Spanish were declining in their population and with the growth of the new nobility(indians) the Spanish knew they were about to lose their power so they killed the Indians.
Usually in "missions" built specifically to that end. Many of present-day cities throughout the Americas started just like that: a small chapel or temple where missionaries taught Spanish and Catholic faith to the Native Americans they encountered. Some examples include Santa Fe (New Mexico), San Jose (California), San Antonio (Texas) and San Jose del Cabo (Mexico).
to spread religion
In 1680, the Pueblo Indians revolted due to their denigration and prohibition of their traditional religion and people being forced to labor on the colonists' encomiendas.
The Spanish wanted the Indians as slaves as a result of the Indian tribe fortune.. The legend that was built around the Spanish conquest of the Americas was invented by the British, and it is called the black legend, the Spanish came to this continent true to find riches, just like anybody else, but the difference between the Spanish and the English was that the Spanish did mix with the native population, as well as converted the natives into their religion, their were mistreated but it was not a general rule, several Viceroys tried to aid the native population, and in many cases the native population was an ally to the Spanish authorities, besides the queen Isabella, forbid the enslavement of the natives, they had to adopt the Catholic religion, but they could not be treated as slaves. Slavery never existed in the New Spain.
