The typical daily schedule for an indian was to wake up in the morning when the mission bells rang at 6:00, then attend prayers which lasted for an hour, then to have breakfast which was atole. After breakfast, the men went out to farm and the women wove baskets and made pottery and the children went to help out with chores around the mission. Then it was time for lunch which was pozole. After lunch they would continue their work for 2 hours depending on how much work they had got done. Then atole would be served again. Women were supposed to sleep at 8:00 and men at 9:00. If they didn't live at the mission their houses would look not protective enough with reeds, sticks, sometimes rocks, with string tying it up.The europeans wanted the indians to live at the mission so they could do the work that they needed to do for them. The indians got treated badly and were not allowed to leave the mission.
