What group would have likely viewed the construction of new Spanish missions with suspicion?

Indigenous groups in California and the Southwest would have likely viewed the construction of new Spanish missions with suspicion. These missions often represented not only a religious imposition but also the encroachment of Spanish colonial power, leading to the displacement of Native peoples from their lands. Additionally, the missions aimed to convert Indigenous populations to Christianity, which many Indigenous groups resisted as a threat to their cultural identity and autonomy.
