Though the Spanish had more than 200 years of experience in colonizing the Americas before invading California, that invasion still set up a clash between the California Indians and the Spanish. What were some of the elements of that clash? More than one of the following may be correct. The Spaniards followed a religion that gave them dominion over all of nature while the California Indians' religion recognized themselves as a part of nature. The Spanish doctrine of congregación brought Amerindians into the Catholic missions and forced upon them the legal status of children. Spaniards created a double revolution by overthrowing California Indian culture and exacting a series of changes in California's environment brought on by everything from the introduction of Old World macrophages to agricultural practices that ended the natives' environment-sustaining quasi-agricultural practices.
