📅 17 Mart 1536 📍 Venezuela

On 17 March 1536, the monarchy required officials to restrict the transportation of enslaved Indigenous people to the Iberian Peninsula unless the governor permitted it. This was a limit on export, not a general emancipation decree. It illustrates how colonial authorities regulated the movement and legal categorization of Indigenous captives while coercive labor continued in the Americas.
