Encomienda to hacienda – encomienda and hacienda systems. Labor systems


developed by Spain granting large amount of land to settlers in the Americas and
claiming ownership of all of the resource sand of the natives. The encomienda and
hacienda systems developed an exchange among the natives for work in return of
protection and education.

Indulto de comercio – privilege of provincial governors to engage in and


monopolize trade.

Forced Labor (Polo y servicio) - Is the forced labor for 40 days of men ranging
from 16-60 years of age who were obligated to give personal services to community
projects. In 1884, labor was reduced to 15 days. The polo system was patterned
after the Mexican repartimento, selection of forced labor. Repartimento is a grant of
forced labor (as for use in agriculture, in mining, or in construction) imposed on
indigenous inhabitants
Taxation – to support the colony, several forms of taxes and monopolies were
imposed. The tithe is the payment of the 10% of an individual’s annual income to
the government. The sanctorum is the tax being paid as support to the church, the
tribute (buwis) is the tax or rent given to the landlord a resident is under. It may be
in cash or in kind (tobacco, chickens, produce, or gold).
