When did this occur? When was this system adopted as a replacement for the encomienda system that was in place before it? Dates should be addressed in this topic since it is a history article... Stevenmitchell 02:52, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Factual Accuracy

The repartimiento, to the best of my knowledge, was more prominent as a forced system of consumption for the workers, where they would have to consume the goods produced by their 'owner'. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.169.6 (talk) 05:03, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

This system came into effect in 1550 in New Spain. It was basically a system of forced labor where Indians had to work for the local land owners for a certain amount of weeks a year, where they weren't paid. The Indians were supposed to be grateful for this. The work the Indians did was both public and private. It replaced the encomienda system of 1512. 136.168.245.83 21:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)American Indian History student136.168.245.83 21:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Repartimiento or reparto de mercancias is different from repartimiento de labor (draft labor system) being discussed here. Reparto de mercancias is forced sale of merchandise to Indians by corregidor at prices and terms he sets. Major source of problems, e.g. big factor in Tupac Amaru rebellion.
