b. Soldiers sometimes seized Indians and brought them to the missions where they came under the authority of the padres.
c. Environmental factors played a role in attracting Indians to the missions, and conversion became a method to ensure survival.
d. All of the above partly explain why Indians came to the missions and converted to Christianity.

Were the missions supposed to be permanent institutions?

b. Only if Indians did not demonstrate their loyalty to Christianity and Spanish law.
c. No; the Law of the Indies clearly stated that the missions would be secularized after ten years, and the Indians would form new towns.
