The encomienda system was implemented by the Spanish crown during Spanish exploration of the Americas. It granted a 'Spainer' a certain number of American natives who were to work their land, or pay tribute by means of mined gold or silver. The Spainer then had to teach the natives the Spanish language and Catholic faith. Basically, it helped raise interest in settling in Spanish America under the Spanish crown because of the economic benefits the Spanish settlers received. Spain also benefitted because it made the natives more civilized and thus less likely to rebel, spread Spanish influence across the world, and Spain also received huge sums of money and items (such as precious metals, and new crops/animals) of great value.
