Daily life and the development of mission culture
Expecting pears from an elm tree: Franciscan missions on the Chiriguano frontier in the heart of South America, 1830-1949 • Durham • Published In 2009 • Pages: 126-159
By: Langer, Erick Detlef.
Abstract
The author discusses the life on the missions including schooling, which consisted of learning the catechism and trade skills. For many, the missions were a refuge from war. While many Chiriguano settled down on the missions, not all were converted. Those who did convert formed a hybrid identity that was neither traditional Chirigiuano nor Creole.
