How does de Las Casas portray Natuve Americans?what did they think of the Spanish according to him ?
kow [346]

Answer:

He portrays them as naïve, innocent children. It apparently took them a while to figure out that the Spanish were not on a “Mission from Heaven.” The Indians are essentially defenseless against the Spanish, and when they do take up arms, their weapons resemble those of boys.
