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 Potosí), parcels (large estates), and obrajes (textile workshops). This system was a form of concertation, meaning the compulsory recruitment of indigenous labor for colonial enterprises.
