Before Spain arrived at the Zuni village the Zuni knew that Spain was coming and coming with nothing good. If I lead Spain I would have offered equal rights and a peace treaty. The Spanish people would help repair and advance the community, and if anybody had anything to say about it I would say it is our duty under God to help our neighbors. The Spanish people would trade eat and work with the Zuni people, and in time join forces.
I like your vision of cross-cultural cooperation Andje! It sounds like a mucher nicer way to live than how the Spaniards did things back in the day.
