When and where one adopts a 'diversity' rather than 'European' perspective on American History, the basic facts and events that drove that history will not necessarily change. What will change, however, is the importance and emphasis that one may (or may not) place upon those facts and events. At the same time, the various sources that one draws upon to understand (and evaluate) the same will change: the 'European' perspective will be complemented, perhaps even revised significantly, by other perspectives.

How might a Native American and description of the mission differ from Azara and European perspective?

A Native American's description of the mission might emphasize the disruption of their traditional way of life, highlighting the loss of land, autonomy, and cultural practices due to European encroachment. In contrast, Azara and the European perspective might portray the mission as a benevolent effort to "civilize" and convert Indigenous peoples, framing it as a positive force for education and development. This difference reflects a fundamental clash of values, where Native Americans view the mission as a source of colonization and oppression, while Europeans see it as a noble endeavor.
