Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

After analyzing the text that was presented above I came to the conclusion that the main point of view is that the Spaniards were trying to change the religion of the Hopi people.This is apparent because from the beginning the Spaniards started building missions making the people believe that the priests were the saviors.found in paragraph #4“"The missionary did not like the ceremonies. He did not like the Kachinas and he destroyed the altars and the customs. He called it idol worship and burned up all the ceremonial things in the plaza.” found in paragraph #7"When this mission was finally built, all the people in the village had to come there to worship, and those that did not come were punished severely. In that way their own religion was altogether wiped out, because they were not allowed to worship in their own way."
