Conversion to Christianity

On 6 Sept., 1909, a law was passed providing for the conversion of Indians to Christianity and civilization. As a benefit of this law, the President of the Republic was authorized to grant public lands to individuals or companies organized for the purpose of converting the tribes. On these lands the concessionaire established a reduction with the necessary churches, houses, schools etc.
