Missions Life Native American Life Missionary Life Missionaries had many tasks 2pm: Missionaries, neophytes, and soldiers returned to work 5pm:Missionaries led prayers and devotions • 7am: Bells rang to send the Native Americans to work • 12 noon to 2pm: Ate their meal and had a siesta (nap). • 6pm:Supper was held for all, followed by free time • 8pm:Bedtime for woman • 9pm:Bedtime for men

  7. Take a Stand I think the mission system was harmful to the Native Americans. One reason the mission system was harmful to the Native Americans was they had to follow the rules. The bells rang for when it was time to wake up, pray, mealtime, time to work, even when it was time to rest. If one person didn’t follow the rules they would get whipped or locked in chains. Another reason the mission system was harmful was it was just a form of slavery. Most of those who tried to live there, were very poor. Sometimes they would have to steal to survive. The last reason they didn’t have fun. They never had the chance to talk or dance. Who ever lived had to speak Spanish instead of speaking their own language. The mission system was strange and hard for the Native Americans.
