Answer:

Answer:

Jesuit missions were agrarian

communities, were the indigenous

people were taught skills and arts,

together with Christian doctrine. The

pleasant environment was created in the

sense of trading the labor for "cultural"

goods. Also, the Jesuit priests help

the Indians against the slave raids of

colonizers (bandeirantes).

Step-by-step explanation:

The Jesuit missions were in essence

a theocratic society, which can be

exemplified by modern Amish or

menonite communities. In this way,

the cultural exchange between the

European priests and the Indians was

essential to create the balance between

labor, missionary work, and defence

against the bandeirantes.
