Answer:

The experience of don luis de velasco or Paquiquineo illustrates the "Ease with which European and Indian cultures could interact".

Step-by-step explanation:

Paquiquino or Don luis was a Kiskiack or Paspahegh tribe, hails from Tidewater, Virginia, United States. He was called as Virginia Indian who in 1561 on Chesapeake Bay met with Spanish explorers and either voluntarily or as a captive but returned back to Spain with them.

As Algonquian-speaking Indians were practicing "gift-exchange economy" which represented that instead of equal value trading goods they gave gifts. Due to which debt and expectations for gifts was increasing, but when Spaniards violated this protocol, they shifted from something-for-nothing to something-for-something and in return for their generosity demanded "trinkets".
