All Native American civilizations were eventually conquered by Spanish conquistadors; their cultures, including language, religion and individual identity were wiped out. The "fortunate" ones became servants of the Spanish overlords, while the bulk of the conquered peoples were used as slave labor for silver mines, plantations and haciendas setup by the Spaniards. Many other died to European-brought disease, such as smallpox. Those Native Americans who escaped and relocated to more remote areas of the country not controlled by Spaniards, founded the communities that nowadays struggle to survive due to poverty.
