They were slaves to whatever the Spanish wanted done and to build and support the infrastructure. They were the converts to Catholicism, who built the churches, who paved the way for more missionaries/missions. They were the ones who taught the Spanish how to farm and grow food and the animals to eat in the new land. Then they were the ones who did the farming. They were the guides who showed the Spanish even more lands to conquer and colonize. They were the ones the were forced to give up there gold and made the Spanish rich from all the new world gold the stripped from the natives. So California and all Indians were the cannon fodder that helped the Spanish colonial system prosper.
Whether, and how, the Indians benefited from joining the missions depends on who your ask. The padres felt that recruiting them benefited them because it gave them a chance to be baptized; the Indians on the other hand liked being part of the respected community and rituals.
