This article raises important issues about the historical processes that the indigenous people of the Province of St. Peter lived, taking into account some of the speeches that were produced by such stories and their agents. The speeches of politicians on them seem to be contradictory, but show the difficulty of those who wrote both in dealing with indigenous policy and with the Indian policy. Different, though marked by some similarities, the religious discourse show the challenge that the practice of catechesis represented to them and the Indians. There were quite distinct reasons for such actions, revealing that the individual and collective experiences of Indians, politicians and missionaries led to important conflicts and alliances in the stories of these characters.
