1 answer

The two ways in which the Spanish changed the Native Americans' way of life would be:

  1. The Spanish enslaved Native Americans: This resulted in significant changes to their social structures, labor systems, and overall way of life as many were forced into servitude and exploited for their labor.

  2. The Spanish forced Native Americans to convert to Catholicism: This had a profound effect on their spiritual beliefs, cultural practices, and societal norms, as many were compelled to abandon their traditional religions and adopt Christianity.

While the introduction of new cooking and hunting methods or coexistence may have occurred in some regions, the more impactful and widespread changes were through enslavement and forced religious conversion.
