| Found in | Hatuey, 1891: title page (Hatuey) Wikipedia, viewed October 13, 2022: Hatuey ((died 2 February 1512) was a Taíno Cacique (chief) of the Hispaniola province of Guahaba (present-day La Gonave, Haiti). He lived from the late 15th till the early 16th century. One day Chief Hatuey and many of his fellow-men traveled from present-day La Gonave, Haiti by canoe to Cuba to warn the Indigenous people that were in Cuba about the Spaniards that were coming to Cuba. He later attained legendary status for leading a group of Natives in a fight against the invasion of the Spaniards, thus becoming one of the first fighters against colonialism in the New World. He is celebrated as "Cuba's First National Hero.") <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatuey> |
