Summary
Life in the missions and settlements is complex. Different groups live in the
same small area have different needs and viewpoints. Sometimes those needs
conflict. Native Americans see the world one way, and the Spanish see it another
way. Some Native Americans have no interest in becoming Christians or giving up
their own ways of life. However, some Native Americans do adapt to Christianity in
the missions.
As settlements grow, the settlers will begin to call Texas home. They will
develop their own unique culture, and it includes new foods, clothes, and activities.
Among these settlers, there are people with a mixed Native American and Spanish
background. They are called mestizos.
Reasoning
Our mission would be a great mission to have because it will be located near
water resources, it will be near other missions and presidios, it will be located near a
group of friendly Native Americans, and the soil there is good for farming and raising
livestock. The harvest will be successful and plentiful, and the growth of livestock will
grow to make food for survival. The friendly Native Americans can teach us their
knowledge of survival, and we can teach them about religion. We can find many
resources there including rich soil, fish in rivers, water, trees and maybe some gold and
silver. The travel there will be fairly easy most of the time. The mission is located near
the Gulf of Mexico so the walk will not be long.If this mission is founded, it will be a
great success.
