Native American Slaves Travelling Overseas

When the Spaniards came to the new world, they encountered the Native Americans obviously. They went on to brutally enslave them, and my question is whether in doing so they ever took any of them to Spain, as well as other Spanish colonies outside of the Americas?

Take a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_the_Spanish_New_World_colonies -especially the second section: "Indigenous people enslaved by the Spanish" Evidently, slaves were brought back, but they weren't welcome and were sent back to the "New World". Slavery went against their religion.
