New People, Cultures, and Plant Life Encountered



The main new people that the expedition of Cabeza de Vaca encountered were the natives that lived in the south at that time. As the expedition moved west they encountered even more diverse peoples and cultures. Not very much is know about the kinds of people that he encountered but what he did witness was them being treated horribly by the spaniards and some were made slaves of. Because of this hostility towards them, the natives were also very hostile towards the Spaniards.
There was lots of plant life in the parts of America that they explored. Their expeditions force them to go through very dense jungles which are flooded with wild life.
