This study first put in doubt a well-known citation of priest Antonio Ruiz de Montoya in the work Spiritual Conquest, the quoted Jesuit approaches the Jesuitical silence about Guarani polygamy during the first biennium of diminution installation of Rio da Prata. Such fragment has been used to confirm the thesis that missionaries perceived in Guarani polygamy the most difficult obstacle to the native catechesis. Nevertheless, it is suggested in this study that, from the Jesuitical point of view, the polygamy was not so bad when compared to the others Guarani custom. After that, there is a research reorientation. So, it is described the trajectory of cacique Miguel de Artiguaye to, just after, put in doubt the connection between Guarani and priests. It will be seen that concepts such as identity, resistance and submission are not enough to explain the fixed relationship between cacique and priests. In contrast to it, is proposed that Artiguaye tried to include the priests into his pre-contact relationship ways. However with the proposed Christian identity, Artiguaye had to reevaluate the meanings of the arrival of catechizers in Rio da Prata and the possibility to join them and to become their enemy.
