Father Serra started the missions to teach Indians their ways. His goal was to take them away from what he calls, "A vicious habit and weird ways" and turn them into Spanish people. When they first found the Indians, what was normal to the Indians (such as wearing little or no clothes, eating with fingers and catching own food, and other things) was weird to the Spanish explorers and settlers. So basicly, their goal was to change the Indians ways. Hope that helped you!
