In order to understand the alliance´s initial success, we start researching the first negotiations done by Guaraní chiefs with the fathers who founded missions -reducciones- along the Paraná and Guayrá rivers. This occured in an atmosphere of inter-tribal wars, colonist explotation and by the need to obtain weapons to ensalve them. The analysis focuses upon the role of Indian leaders in the negotiations. The paper reveals the effort the Jesuit father undertook with colonial authorities and the Crown to accomplish the religious conversion project and the pressures the Indian Chiefs exerted to obtain extraordinary privileges to satisfy material needs and to assure the territory´s defense. El presente trabajo analiza la construcción de una alianza duradera entre los padres de la Compañía de Jesús y los caciques guaraníes que conformaron las reducciones jesuíticas del Paraguay colonial durante el siglo XVII. Para comprender el éxito inicial de esta alianza, investigamos las primeras negociaciones efectuadas por los caciques guaraníes con los religiosos que fundaron reducciones en el Paraná y el Guayrá en el marco de las guerras intertribales y los portugueses que incursionaban en sus territorios para esclavizarlos. El análisis focaliza el papel negociador de los líderes indígenas. Por otra parte el trabajo revela los esfuerzos que debieron realizar los padres de la Compañía con las autoridades coloniales y con la Corona para llevar a cabo su proyecto evangelizador y las presiones ejercidas por los caciques para obtener privilegios extraordinarios con el objeto de satisfacer necesidades materiales y asegurar la defensa de su territorio.
