Explanation:

The Encomenderos were granted with an amount of labor, but they didn't control the land or the American Indians. The leaders of the communities had to decide who had to work as payment for the encomienda.  

The encomendero used the labor for different ends, but mostly it was used for the gold and silver mines. In exchange for this labor, the encomenderos were responsible for teaching the Christian faith and protect the American Indians from danger.
