The missions didn't help the Native Americans. Many were killed by the priests and put into mass graves ( the graves are still there), they were not allowed to practice their cultural rites or to speak native languages, and they were required to work at the mission. I think even worse than the mission system was the government Native American schools. Children were taken from their parents and tribe to live at the schools. They were not allowed to speak native languages or learn the traditional things about their tribe.
Native Americans were enslaved by the missionaries. They were forced to convert to Christianity by the missionaries and to leave their cultural ways to live and work at the missions. Thousands of Native Americans are buried in mass graves at California missions. They were killed by the missionaries. Your question should be asking how did the missionaries impact the Native Americans.

Native Americans were either captured or chased to 'missions' where they were often held at gun point, or other threat, and made to say they believed in 'God.' Because this was a legal qualification required by law, once they admitted this they were considered 'heathens' and under the direct control of the church. They were then used for all forms of labor, mostly mining gold and silver.
