Question

How did the conquistadors view native Americans

Answer 1

The conquerors saw native American as wild people. In some cases, they tend to fable about the native, as if they were anthrophages or magicians. You can read in colonial chronicles as the one whom Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca wrote -Naufragios- or even the chronicles which Cristóbal Colon wrote, how Europeans experienced the difference between the cultures.
