Encomiendas were primarily used in Spanish colonies in the Americas, particularly in regions such as the Caribbean, Mexico, and parts of South America. This system allowed Spanish colonizers to receive land and the labor of indigenous people in exchange for providing protection and religious instruction. Notable areas where encomiendas were implemented include present-day Mexico, Peru, and the West Indies. The system significantly impacted indigenous populations and their communities.
There are at least three main kinds of encomienda. There are the Royal Encomiendas, the Ecclesiastical Encomiendas, and the Private Encomiendas,
