During the late 16th and 17th centuries, Spain set up dozens of missions in their Florida colony.
They used these, with the help of Franciscan missionaries, to Christianize the native people they.
found there. While converting the Native Americans, the Franciscans discovered how easily the.
natives adapted to the new religion and what great power it soon kept over their lives. This.
realization resulted into two reactions towards the Spanish mission worker's treatment of their.
native students. The two ways they reacted were with respect and with a desire to manipulate.
them.
For the most part, the Spanish were very fair to the Indians, never treating them cruelly,.
unless to combat a rebellion. In fact, in 1656, one Spanish governor was charged for his.
mistreatment of the Timucuan Indians during a rebellion, but he died prior to his hearing. This.
respect was given due to the fact that missionaries were most concerned about spreading.
Christianity, and they say that the Florida natives were very able receptors for the faith. In some.
ways, the Spanish missionaries were in awe of the piety that the natives expressed. The new.
devotion they possessed was an intense one. According to Father Francisco Pareja, "among them.
are Indian men who have sufficient knowledge to give instructions, while there are Indian women.
who catechize other Indian women, preparing them for the reception of Christianity. They assist.
at the masses of obligation on Sundays.[and] with regard to the mysteries of the faith, many of.
them answer better than the Spaniards." .
The respect was mutual. During the 1656 rebellion at the Timucuan missions, the leader.
of the Timucua chiefs, gave his followers the directions to kill Spaniards, but not the mission.
friars. This action revealed the good relationship between the two groups. Besides, the faith that.
the friars brought to the Timucuans was powerful stuff, and with it they could control the Indians.
