In regards to the image on Slide #5, I imagine the conversation between the two individuals would be very tense. There would also likely have been much confusion due to the language barrier between the two people. I would expect the Conquistador to be very self-righteous, thinking himself superior to the alleged “savages.” The Native Americans would be defensive and highly offended by the Conquistador, as the Native Americans actually had diverse civilizations and were agriculturally advanced people. The Native American may have met the Conquistador with some curiosity had this been his first encounter with a European; however, I think there would have been a great deal of distrust as well. The Conquistador may have tried preaching ideals of Christianity to the Native Americans or threatened to “civilize” them.
