encomienda

Explanation:

Under the encomienda system, Spaniards were asked to protect and Christianize the indigenous peoples who were living on their land and who were entrusted to them. In return, the Indians would pay tribute to the Spaniards in the form of labor or payment of some kind. The Spaniards themselves did not hold title this land, but rather were granted the use of it from the Crown in exchange for certain obligations.

The encomienda system was similar to other feudal relationships. Indigenous people in the Americas were considered subjects of the Spanish crown, but were under the rule of those who were entrusted with encomiendas. These encomiendas were awarded to Spanish conquistadors as a form of payment for their services to Spain.
