The title of this episode might sound Greek to you. The importance of the new laws made in that city aimed to establish guidelines for the treatment of indigenous peoples encountered by Spanish explorers and settlers, including the prohibition of indigenous enslavement, emphasizing that native populations were rational beings with natural rights deserving of humane treatment. Looking at this from a Historical point of view, our friends explains what all that was about, and they hope to send an understanding message placing us all in the middle of the 16th Century. Happy listening!
