How did life change for Indians after the missions?
Missions were brought into Indian lands by Christians wishing to covert people to the Christian faiths. But Indians had and still have their own set of religious beliefs. The missions did convert some Indians; some sociologists and Indian tribes assert that these conversions diluted or altered the Indian traditional spiritual beliefs. Many missionaries were quite aggressive, as well. While a tribe may have only needed help with food, for example, some missionaries withheld "needs" until the Indians converted (conversion by aggression). It's important to note that most European settlers regarded Indians as "heathens" with their distinctive clothing, use of animal furs, bird feathers, mystical traditions, and their (in the European's opinion) total disregard for the "One God" or "Triunal God" of Christianity. But, Indians long believed in nature's God, and worshipped in ways specific to their historical culture. Rather than being "heathens", Indians practiced a rich spiritual life that still exists today. Another big effect of European missionary work was that missionaries brought diseases that the Indians had not been exposed to before; the Indians had no need before to develop antibodies and natural defenses to those illnesses. Therefore, many Indians fell sick and died after missions opened in their area. Missions affected all aspects of Indian life and Indian ways. It may help to read about some of the historical mission sites and read about the Indian tribes that had lived or do live in that area.
