Unlike spanish missionaries, the french jesuits did what in regard to converting indians? \

The Jesuits did not suppress traditional Indian religious customs.

Explanation:

Unlike the Spanish missionaries, who used to build missions with farms and military bases, the French Jesuits used to spread individually upon arrival to the new land, as soon as they got support from the Indians.

The French parish system sent individual priests to live in Indian villages to convince them of the superiority of Christianity, while learning about the local customs, religions, and languages, through immersion.
