The correct answer is: <em>¨The Spaniards view the Indians as less hostile and threatening¨¨.

Explanation:
The sinking of the barge was an important event that marked a before and after in the Spanish and Indians relationship, or basically the image the Spanish people had of the Indians.
The <em>¨I can help¨</em> attitude, and the mild behavior the Indians showed (without mentioning that on these moments the Spanish noted that the weapons and social organization of the Indians were not too advanced), basically told a lot to the colonizers, this made them think that they (the Indians) were not a threat at all, and this way proceeded with indiscriminate colonization, that led them to almost eliminate the entire Indian race.
