Mines and the Mita System

The Mita was a labor system imposed by the Spanish colonizers in the Andean region, where indigenous people were forced to work in mines (notably the silver mines of PotosĆ­), parcels (large estates), and obrajes (textile workshops). This system was a form of concertation, meaning the compulsory recruitment of indigenous labor for colonial enterprises.
