qué tal amigos gracias por acompañarnos
en esta nueva entrega de acércate a rd
en esta ocasión les hablaremos de
anacaona nuestra heroína taína que murió
luchando por su pueblo pero antes de
iniciar con los interesantes detalles de
la vida de anacaona les mostraremos cómo
está organizada la isla de quisqueya
mejor conocida como la española
a la llegada de cristóbal colón la isla
de quisqueya estaba organizada política
y socialmente en 5 casi casos pero que
es un casi casco un cacicazgo es una
forma de organización política social de
las comunidades indígenas y tribales
cuya máxima autoridad es el cacique los
cinco casi casi los de la isla la
española era
el cacicazgo de marie
gobernado por el cacique guacanagarix el
cual estaba dividido en catorce mitad y
no y se extendía por toda la porción
noroeste de la isla
el cacicazgo de mauá
gobernado por el cacique guardianes
estaba dividido en 21 y taínos y
comprendía todo el nordeste de la isla
el cacicazgo de higüey era gobernado por
el cacique cayacoa y estaba dividido en
21 y taínos
su superficie abarcaba toda la porción
sureste de la isla
el cacicazgo de maguana que era
gobernado por el cacique caonabó
estaba dividido en 21 y taínos y
comprendía el centro de la isla
y por último el cacicazgo de jaragua
este era gobernado por el cacique
bohechío y se dividía en 26 mitad y no
este castigo era avanzado en términos
culturales
tras la muerte de bohechío
ocurrida antes de 1.502 su hermana
anacaona le sucedió en el cargo el
cacicazgo se extendía por todo el
suroeste de la española era el de mayor
extensión de la isla probablemente se
esté preguntando que es única e no bueno
los mismos eran considerados los nobles
de la tribu eran familiares del cacique
y actuaban como guerreros ok amigos
ahora sí entremos en materia y hablemos
sobre la cásica anacaona
anacaona nació en la isla la española en
1474
en la lengua de los taínos su nombre
significaba flor de oro
era hermana del cacique bohechío y fue
la esposa del cacique caonabó con quien
tuvo una hija llamada y que monta
se distinguió por su belleza e
inteligencia
pero también por su talento para las
poesías las cuales se recitaba en los
aritos ante los otros aborígenes
cuando su hermano o el tío murió
anacaona gobernó el cacicazgo dejar agua
en su lugar
[Música]
a la llegar a la isla de la expedición
de cristóbal colón en diciembre de
1492 anacaona se distinguió por su
curiosidad y gran admiración por los
españoles porque veía en aquellos
hombres conocimientos diferentes a los
de su comunidad
pero los abusos que cometieron contra
las mujeres
algunos de los que quedaron en el fuerte
de la navidad' hicieron que ésta dejara
de admirar y les viera como una amenaza
a combatir por lo que convenció entonces
a cabo para que les exterminar a su
regreso el 28 de noviembre de 1493 colom
encontró el fuerte destruido y sus 43
moradores asesinados años después el
gobernador de la isla nicolás de ovando
recibió la noticia de que a nacaome
estaba tramando un plan contra los
españoles
entonces ovando mandó a decirle anacaona
que iba hacia jaragua para una visita
amistosa el gobernador llegó con más de
350 hombres y fue recibido con fiestas y
bailes en un can y cuando todos estaban
reunidos en la fiesta los españoles
prendieron fuego al canelo en el momento
del ataque algunos aborígenes lograron
sacar a la causa del lugar
entre los sobrevivientes que escaparon
se encontraban su hija y que motta su
sobrino guarocuya quien fue entregado a
fray bartolomé de las casas quien lo
cristianizó con el nombre de enriquillo
mi tía nieta de anna cabo y el líder
tribal atuel
ovando ordenó una intensa búsqueda hasta
lograr capturar a cabo
condenándola públicamente a la hora en
1503
[Música]
si hacemos los cálculos la vida de
anacaona fue corta comparada con la
expectativa de vida promedio de una
persona en la actualidad ya que murió a
los 29 años de edad en acércate a rd
creemos que en algunas de las provincias
que correspondan con los lugares donde
se encontraban los cacicazgos se
deberían erigir estatuas de buen tamaño
como una forma de honrar la vida de los
primeros habitantes de la isla
por ejemplo en la provincia de higüey
deberían construirla una estatua al
cacique cayacoa en la provincia san juan
de la maguana ya tiene el estatua de su
cacique que es la del cacique caonabó
en la provincia de dajabón deberían
construir una estatua al cacique
guacanagarix en maria trinidad sánchez o
en la provincia duarte deberían
construir una estatua al cacique
guarioné y en barahona pedernales o en
la provincia independencia deberían
construir una estatua al cacique o chico
y a la cacique anacaona qué piensas
sobre nuestra propuesta crees que se
deberían construir esas estatuas para
ahorrar la vida de los taínos que fueron
perseguidos y eliminados de manera
despiadada
