In practice, conflicts between two or more Jesuit reductions were recorded in order to claim property over poorly defined territories or important subsistence and commercial products of the time, such as heads of cattle. Ánalyzed in this way, and however unusual the outcomes may have been, the episodes of litigationallow us to roughly measure certain regional characteristics, oppositions and defenses of local identities. In short, they reveal an incessant effort on the part of the Society of Jesus to interfere in the ancestral memory of the original peoples in order to “adjust” them according to the measures that the missionaries considered recognizable or necessary.
