“…Even so, outside the spaces occupied by the regular orders, at parish level, the indigenous population was equally monitored and denounced in the event of deviancy, just like any other Christian laypeople. A recent study has shown the modus operandi of the bishops and their vicars-general in criminal cases brought against indigenous people in eighteenth century Maranhão (Muniz 2022a).…”

The second half of the eighteenth century is crucial to understanding the significant role of the Catholic Church in the many transformations experienced by indigenous peoples due to the policies of the Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo (Marquis of Pombal) administration in Portuguese America. No study has yet to examine in depth the collaboration of the episcopate and its agents in this indigenist policy. Here, therefore, I analyse the case of the diocese of Maranhão, in the Portuguese Amazon, from its creation in 1677 until the end of the eighteenth century, demonstrating the jurisdictional dispute between the bishops and the regular clergy over the guardianship of indigenous peoples. I also examine how the appointment of clergy in former indigenous villages took place and how the diocesan structure was expanded to ensure the consolidation of Pombal’s policy amid disputes between diverse actors and interests, including those of the Portuguese state, the bishops and the indigenous population. By analysing a variety of documents using research methodologies that involve varying the scale of observation and pursuing a connected history perspective, I show how the episcopate behaved, despite its limitations and vacancies, in the process of assimilating indigenous peoples.

A vila de Viana, anteriormente chamada de aldeia de Maracú, foi fundada em 1757 no contexto de mudanças administrativas da coroa portuguesa para a região amazônica no século XVIII, política conhecida como Diretório Pombalino. A vila estava localizada no interior da Capitania do Maranhão, parte do Estado do Grão-Pará e Maranhão. A partir da transcrição e análise do Livro de Notas n. 2 (1776-1791), disponível no Arquivo do Tribunal da Justiça do Maranhão (ATJMA), propomos uma discussão sobre a maneira que os habitantes da vila de Viana atuaram diante da política do Diretório, com atenção a dois aspectos. Em primeiro lugar, a identificação de indígenas nos cargos de governança e, em segundo lugar, as transações de compra e venda de casas envolvendo indígenas.
