Did the Spaniards kill or get along with the Cahuilla?

The relationship between the Spaniards and the Cahuilla people was complex, marked by both conflict and cooperation. Initially, Spanish explorers and settlers sought to assert control over the region, often leading to violence and displacement of the Cahuilla. However, there were instances of trade and interaction where the Cahuilla engaged with the Spaniards, especially as the latter established missions in California. Ultimately, the impact of colonization resulted in significant disruption to Cahuilla society and culture.
