Yes, Vasco de Balboa interacted with Indigenous peoples during his expeditions in the early 16th century. Upon arriving in the region now known as Panama, he encountered various native tribes, including the Ngäbe-Buglé and the Kuna. His interactions ranged from trade and alliances to conflict, as he sought to establish Spanish control and find new resources, particularly gold. These encounters significantly influenced both the local cultures and the Spanish colonization efforts.
