The repartimiento system was a labor system used in Spanish America where indigenous communities were grouped into administrative units and required to provide a certain amount of labor to the state. The encomienda system was a similar labor system, but it involved the allocation of indigenous people to individuals for labor purposes, while the merced system was a land grant system. The reducción system was a policy of relocating indigenous people into settlements in order to better control and "civilize" them.
