Father Junipero Serra came to California in 1769 with the Franciscans to convert Native Californians to Catholicism. The Franciscans brought many supplies like religious items, farming tools, food and materials to establish missions. However, the Native Californians had their own way of life as hunter-gatherers who moved locations seasonally. Over time, the two groups impacted each other as the Native Californians adopted aspects of Franciscan life like permanent settlements and agriculture while the Franciscans incorporated some Native traditions.
