Descrição: In 1549, nine years after the founding of the Society of Jesus, its first representatives reached Brazil. At first the fathers believed that conversion of the native Brasis would be an easy task, achievable by gentle persuasion. They soon discovered otherwise: the colony was vast, and the missionaries were few; morever, converts were prone to revert to former pagan practices, such as dependence upon shamans, anthropophagy, and plural marriage. To combat such activities, the fathers adopted new strategies including the use of force.
