They did so throughtheir traditional flying missions, where the ethnic groups in the Valley took a stand againstthe advanced hesitant evangelizing, highlighting the particular reception with the children ofIgnacio on their land. While the Indians reject the new religious ideas, ended up acceptingthe Jesuits as a refuge to avoid conflagrations with the conquerors. While the Jesuits, in apermissive attitude, they prioritized saving lives with a baptism which primarily defendedfrom slavery or death. Amidst this context of religious spaces were occupied and liftingthemselves to build a salvation which also include their souls, contradicted the prevailingsystem, so there were many alternatives. But the climate of greed and intolerance producedthree major Hispanic fighting ended breaking progress with the creation of two incipientreductions. It was time when hope turned into tragedy.
