What group tried to talk the natives into becoming christans?

Answer 1

The group known as missionaries, particularly those from Christian denominations such as the Jesuits, Franciscans, and Dominicans, sought to convert Native Americans to Christianity. Their efforts often involved establishing missions where they aimed to teach the Christian faith, European customs, and agricultural practices. These missionaries believed that converting Indigenous peoples was a moral imperative and often viewed their own culture as superior. The interactions were complex and varied widely depending on the region and specific groups involved.
