Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The establishment of reducciones by the Spanish involved relocating native communities into centralized settlements, which helped to protect them from the dangers of colonialism such as slavery, disease, and land theft. This allowed many ayllus and pueblos to survive until the present day. Encomiendas were a system of forced labor, cabildos were local councils, and compadrazgo was a social relationship between individuals. None of these had the same impact on the survival of indigenous communities as the establishment of reducciones.
