	Missions of California - Educational Projects
		Every year, many 4th Grade students in the state of California learn the story of their home state, unique in American history.
		Missions of California Educational Projects are great for introducing students to California's mission history and emphasizing the importance of the missions to the founding of California.
		An important tool in understanding what life was like from 1769 to 1823, Mission Projects help children comprehend the enormous obstacles the colonizers faced, and how Spanish exploration changed the New World and the lives of the Native Americans forever.

	California mission clash of cultures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The California Missions are a series of religious outposts established by Spanish Catholic Franciscans from 1769 to 1823 for the purpose of spreading the Christian doctrine among the local Native Americans.
		Traditionally, historians have portrayed mission life as one of contentment and that the Indians were not slaves, but rather enthusiastic converts who (more often than not) took as much pride building the missions as the Spaniards who led them in their efforts.
		And while the native population throughout Alta California was reliably estimated to be in excess of 300,000 prior to the founding of the first Spanish settlement, their numbers had dwindled to somewhere around 100,000 by the early 1840s due in large part to their exposure to European diseases.
