Europeans treated the Arawaks fairly well for the times. They did use them as laborers, but did not look at them as slaves. They also, sadly, did what those colonizing new lands often do, that is, bring diseases to a country that the natives d not have immunity for. This helped decimate Arawak communities over time.
