Indigenous people welcomed the Spaniards for various reasons. Some saw them as potential allies against rival indigenous groups, while others were interested in trading opportunities or hoped to benefit from the technological advancements and knowledge the Spaniards possessed. Additionally, in some cases, indigenous people initially regarded the Spaniards as supernatural beings or bearers of a prophesied event, which led to them being received with curiosity and reverence.
