Answer 1

The choice that best describes the relationship Spanish colonists had with Native Americans is: colonists treated Native Americans poorly, and many Native Americans died from starvation and disease.

While there were instances of cooperation and mutual assistance, the overall impact of Spanish colonization often led to exploitation, violent conflicts, and significant population decline among Native American groups due to disease introduced by Europeans, as well as harsh labor conditions and resource competition.
