Changes

The Spanish tried to influence the Native Americans

into Christianity. They took advantage of the Native Americans and their gold and they took their land and made them into slaves. This law was called an Incomienda.

Results

As a result of the culture changes between the Native Americans and Europeans most of the native Americans died off because they had never been exposed to the new diseases. The survivors where mostly conquered and took to the European culture by using guns to hunt and wearing European clothing.
