"We have always found in these natives a great resistance to abandoning their ancient customs and ceremonies... After the rebellion [of 1680], it became clear that forcing them to completely give up their traditional ways only fueled their anger. Therefore, we must show greater leniency, allowing them to practice their beliefs in private, provided they publicly observe the Holy Catholic faith and perform the labor required for the maintenance of our towns."

Cevap
Spanish colonial authorities accommodated some aspects of American Indian culture and religion.
The correct option is correct because, in the wake of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, Spanish colonizers realized that total suppression of native religious and cultural traditions was unsustainable. When they reconquered the region, they modified their approach to allow a degree of private cultural and religious practice alongside public adherence to Catholicism, aiming to stabilize their rule.
