THE END

The grants of the encomienda were usually conquistadors and soldiers, but they also included women and Native nobles. Puppet Inca rulers established after the conquest sought and were granted encomiendas too. The natives were free men, not slaves or serfs. Conquistadors were granted trusteeship over the indigenous people they helped conquer.

The Spanish were the ones that started the system during the voyage of the New World.

The encomienda system was something similar to slavery and labor.

In the encomienda, the Spanish crown granted a person a number of natives for they were to take responsibility of. The receiver of the grant was to protect the natives from other tribes and to teach the Spanish language and the Catholic faith: in return they could extract tribute from the natives in the form of labor, gold or other products.
