Answer:

B. the charity and kindness displayed by the island's native people

Step-by-step explanation:

Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vacafue the white man who best understood indigenous reality in the 16th century. His biography is resounding and has, beyond the ornaments of legend, the high prestige of conquering the present southern United States without destroying native tribes or forcing encouragement to machetes (at least not like other insatiable conquerors). Cabeza de Vaca was the founder of another way to dominate the New World: convincing its tenants and dispensing scrubs of religion in the spirit of the aborigines. He came to governor of Paraguay and the Río de la Plata (Argentina). And from there he was enmeshed for defending the rights of indigenous women. If not exactly rights, at least your dignity. He forced the closure of sheds where herds of men raped them. And he also tried to prevent the natives from being scammed in the trade agreements with the Castilians. That, among other understandings to the Indian, cost him the return to Spain, where he told what he saw, what he tried, what he exercised and what he suffered.
