Where does the name come from? Why are they called Reductions? --2003:C8:4700:A500:7918:85A0:AD19:C9EF (talk) 14:14, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the Spanish of the 17th and 18th century, reducciones meant "congregations" or "concentrations." The idea was to congregate or concentrate the Indian peoples into Spanish-style villages to better control and evangelize them. In Mexico, if I recall correctly, "reducciones" were called "congregaciones." Smallchief (talk) 15:07, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
