4. H I P O Columbus Discovers America (1492), Saturday October 13th
“At dawn many of these men came down to the shore, all are, as already, said, youths of good size and very handsome: their hair is not wooly, but loose and course like horse hair, they have broader heads and foreheads than I have seen in any other race of men, and the eyes very beautiful not small, none of them are black, but of the completions of the inhabitants of the Canaries, as it is to be expected, for it is east [and] west with the island of Hierro in the Canaries, in the same line [latitude]. All without exception have very straight limbs, and no bellies, and very well formed. They came to the ship in canoes, made out of trunks of trees all in one piece, and wonderfully built according to the locality, in some of them forty or forth-five men came, others were smaller, and in some but a single man came.

7. Bartolomé de las Casas Condemns Spanish Treatment of the Indians (circa. 1510)
In exchange for his life of services, an Indian received 225 maravedis, paid them once a year as pin money or cacona, as Indians call it, which means bonus or reward. This sum bought a comb, a small mirror, and a string of green or blue glass beads.
I believe the above clearly demonstrates that the Indians were totally deprived of their freedom and were put in the harshest, fiercest, most horrible servitude and captivity which no one who has not seen it can understand. Even beasts enjoy more freedom when they are allowed to graze in the fields. When the Indians were allowed to go home, they often found it deserted and had no other recourse than to go out into the woods to find food and die. When they fell ill, which was very frequently because they are a delicate people unaccustomed to such work, the Spaniards did not believe them and pitilessly called them lazy dogs, and kicked and beat them, and when illness was apparent they sent them home as useless.
