The Spanish Crown would appoint a Spaniard to act as an overseer. He would be granted a certain number of natives in a specific town or area, and deal with the locals chiefs in order to obtain native labor for mining and farming. The "Encomendero" was responsible for the welfare of his Indian workers, in particular to instruct them in Catholicism. Additionally, he was to protect the natives from warring tribes and to instruct them in the Spanish language. For his efforts, he was paid by extracting tribute from the natives in the form of near-free labor, gold, or agricultural products.
