During the Spanish colonization in America, the economy was characterized by a system that privileged the extraction of mineral wealth and the exploitation of lands, both sustained by a hierarchical social structure and the laws of the 'Sistema de Castas', which determined the position of individuals in the colonial society of New Spain. At the same time, the Catholic Church played a fundamental role in legitimizing colonial power, as well as being essential in processes of evangelization and acculturation of indigenous peoples. Considering the historical context of Spanish colonization in the 16th century and the interdisciplinarity between History and Geography, analyze the impact of the 'Encomienda' policy on the spatial rearrangement of indigenous communities and discuss how this economic practice influenced the social and economic structure of the time.

The 'Encomienda' policy had a significant impact on the spatial rearrangement of indigenous communities, the social structure, and the economy of the time, consolidating a hierarchical society and extracting wealth from the conquered lands.

A 'Encomienda' promoted the peaceful integration of indigenous peoples into cities and the equal sharing of mineral wealth between colonizers and natives.

The 'Encomienda' system resulted in the abolition of indigenous slavery and the adoption of economic practices based on fair trade and industrial development in the colonies.

The 'Encomienda' policy was responsible for strengthening the political autonomy of indigenous peoples, who began to control their lands and actively participate in the Spanish colonial government.

The implementation of the 'Encomienda' led to an increase in the indigenous population in the Americas, demonstrating the effectiveness of the system in protecting and promoting the well-being of natives.
