Juan Ponce's royal charter, granted in 1512, provided for the "allotment" of the Indians, essentially making them slaves. By the time of Pánfilo de Narváez (1528) and Hernando de Soto (1539) Indians were declared to be a free people, subjects of the Spanish crown who should be schooled in Catholicism. Those who resisted could be punished by death. In reality such legal admonitions were ignored by conquistadors facing the hardships of Florida. Neither Narváez or de Soto converted a single Indian.
His positive impact was that he claimed land for Spain.The negative impact was that he killed many Native Americans during his conquering of what is now Puerto Rico.
Ponce de León was injured by a poisoned arrow to the shoulder, or perhaps in the thigh as some historians state. Perhaps the best answer would be to state simply that he was shot in Florida and died in Havana.
He never made it back he was wounded by a group of Native Americans.
Juan Ponce de Leon died of wounds as a result of a poisoned arrow to the shoulder. The arrow was not poisoned. He received the wound on the SW of Florida near Charlotte Harbor, but made it to Havana, Cuba before he died.

Ponce De Leon sailed back to Florida in 1521, where the native Americans attacked him and his crew. Ponce De Leon was struck by an arrow and severly wounded. After what was left of the crew sailed back to Cuba, Juan Ponce De Leon died of his wounds soon after.
The first person to step foot on Florida was Serriea Soto and she steped foot in Florida with nothing but her clothes,her dog, and her beer!!
Juan Ponce de Leon came in contact with the Calusa people in Florida during his expeditions in the early 16th century. He also encountered the Tequesta and other indigenous groups in the region.
because he felt like it
There is no definitive evidence to support the claim that Juan Ponce de León was poisoned. He died in 1521 from wounds sustained in a battle with the Calusa Native Americans in Florida. The idea of him seeking the Fountain of Youth and being poisoned as a result is likely a myth.
