Uh, yeah they did. How many people in Mexico, South America, and the area between North America and South America still practice traditional beliefs? Very, very few. Keep in mind that most of the people in those countries are the descendants of both Europeans and natives.

What did Spain start in the borderlands of new Spain to convert the Native Americans to Christianity?

In the very beginning of the Spaniards being in the Americas, they came with the dictate from the Pope that the native people (or just the people) had no souls so could be hunted down. Some believed that if the people were converted, they would then have souls so missionaries began to arrive and convert. However, it was the unknown diseases and superior weaponry that convinced many of the people that perhaps these newcomers did know the right way. Adaptability has always been a strong suit of the people. It is very sad that so much has been lost to the people. Theirs is a beautiful and responsible way of life in terms of spirituality.
