The encounter between Native Americans and Europeans, and especially the Spanish, from 1492 to about 1700, was followed by a history of complex negotiation between and among Europeans and Native Americans, who were by no means homogeneous groups. Furthermore, the Spanish were often divided as to whether their American colonies were a spiritual or economic…
