One consequence of resettlement on the missions was exposure to highly contagious old world crowd diseases such as smallpox and measles. Epidemics that occurred about once a generation killed thousands. Despite severe mortality crises such as epidemics, warfare, and famine, the native populations living on the missions recovered. An analysis of the effects of epidemics and demographic patterns shows that the native populations living on the Paraguay and Chiquitos missions survived and retained a unique ethnic identity. A comparative approach that considers demographic patterns among other mission populations place the case study of the Paraguay and Chiquitos missions into context, and show how patterns on the Paraguay and Chiquitos missions differed from other mission populations. The findings challenge generally held assumptions about Native American historical demography. 410 0$aEuropean expansion and indigenous response ;$vVolume 16. 606 $aIndians of South America$xMissions$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aIndians of South America$xMissions$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aSocial change$zSouth America$xHistory 606 $aMissions$zParaguay$xHistory 606 $aMissions$zBolivia$zChiquitos (Province)$xHistory 607 $aSouth America$xPopulation$xHistory 607 $aSouth America$xEthnic relations$xHistory 607 $aParaguay$xChurch history 607 $aChiquitos (Bolivia : Province)$xChurch history 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndians of South America$xMissions$xHistory 615 0$aIndians of South America$xMissions$xHistory 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory. 615 0$aMissions$xHistory. 615 0$aMissions$xHistory. 676 $a980/.013 700 $aJackson$b Robert H$g(Robert Howard),$0303859 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910493192403321 996 $aDemographic change and ethnic survival among the sedentary populations on the Jesuit mission frontiers of Spanish South America, 1609-1803$92473686 997 $aUNINA
