There were no advantages to the Encomienda System to the local tribes. They were used for forced labor in the mines and in the fields and many were killed or injured in the primitive working conditions. The Spaniards, however, at minimal cost and maximum cruelty, gained the gold, silver, and agricultural products they sent back to Spain on the fabled "treasure ships."
