In Spanish Latin America, people who were of mixed European and Indian ancestry were called mestizos.
- Being Catholic did not stop the Spanish immigrants to have connections with the Native Indian women in America.
- Conquest of the early civilizations and defeating the people led the Spanish settlers to establish colonies in New World.
- Interactions among Spanish and Native Americans depended on economic, social and political factors.
