No, the natives did not cause the diseases that Mission San Rafael suffered. The illnesses were primarily introduced by European colonizers, who brought pathogens to which the Indigenous populations had no immunity. This led to devastating outbreaks among both the natives and the mission's inhabitants. The impact of these diseases was a significant factor in the decline of Indigenous populations during the mission period.
