JesuitsThe Good Things Found Among the Indians

By Jacob Cummins

Strength of the Indians The Jesuits noticed

the physical advantages of the Indians.

The Indians were tall and strong. The Jesuits also saw them as proportioned and agile.

Patient People The Indians never

professed their anger. Happiness is an emotion

that every Indian strived to feel constantly. They showed patience in many troubling situations, such as having no food to eat. This patience is another aspect of Indian culture that the Jesuits found very interesting.
