Topic - Enriquillo

Enriquillo was a Taíno Cacique who rebelled against the Spaniards from 1519 to 1538. His father was killed while attending peace talks with the Spanish, along with eighty other regional chieftains under the direction of his aunt Anacaona in Jaragua. During the talks, Spanish soldiers set the meeting house on fire and proceeded to kill anyone who fled the flames. Enriquillo was then raised in a monastery in Santo Domingo. One of his mentors was Bartolomé de Las Casas. - Source: Wikipedia
