Description: The missions built by the Spanish priests and friars were much more than churches. They were nearly self-sufficient communities, existing much like the feudal system. The Indians were considered peons or serfs, working the land and raising cattle. They were both protected by and exploited by their Spanish overlords, religious and secular.
