In the second half of the seventeenth century, after the Portuguese Restoration, the settlement of the sertão of Portuguese America intensified. The process, defined in the documentation as "expansion for the inland routes", aimed at the constitution of villages and the formation of alliances, with the purpose of guaranteeing security in the commercial access to the routes of the cattle ranchers that followed from Bahia to Piauí, as well as As the constitution of a group of Indians that would restrain the formation of quilombos in the impenetrable routes of the sertão.

This work has as objective the multiple actors involved in the settlement of the sertão of Bahia, with emphasis on the Jesuits, who became the mediators between the worlds of the Indians and the interests of the curraleiros, responsible for a series of difficulties for the work of catechesis. Na segunda metade do século XVII, após a Restauração Portuguesa, intensificou-se o povoamento do sertão da América portuguesa. O processo, definido na documentação como “expansão para os caminhos de dentro”, visava à constituição de aldeamentos e à formação de alianças, com o intuito de garantir segurança no acesso comercial às rotas dos criadores de gado que seguiam da Bahia ao Piauí, bem como a constituição de um grupo de índios que coibisse a formação de quilombos nas impenetráveis rotas do sertão. Mais uma vez, as ordens religiosas foram incumbidas da tarefa de organizar as aldeias, disciplinar as almas e fornecer mão de obra nas entradas para o sertão. O contexto de criação dos aldeamentos é apresentado com base na documentação do Arquivo Ultramarino e da que se encontra na coleção Documentos Históricos da Biblioteca Nacional do Rio de Janeiro. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo os múltiplos atores envolvidos no povoamento do sertão da Bahia, com destaque para os jesuítas, que se tornaram os mediadores entre os mundos dos índios e os interesses dos curraleiros, responsáveis por uma série de dificuldades para o trabalho de catequese.
