What was the relationship with the native Americans and vasco da gama?

Vasco da Gama, the Portuguese explorer, did not have a direct relationship with Native Americans, as his voyages primarily focused on establishing trade routes to India around the late 15th century. His expeditions were mainly along the coasts of Africa and India, rather than North or South America. However, the broader context of European exploration during his time often led to the displacement and conflict with Indigenous peoples in newly encountered lands. The Portuguese were more active in Africa and Asia, while Spain, following Columbus, engaged more directly with Native American populations in the Americas.
