After settling in the island of Haiti (also indigenously referred to as Quisqueya or Bohio) in 1492, the Spaniards exploited the islandโ€™s gold mines and reduced the Taiฬno (indigenous inhabitants) to slavery. Christopher Columbus renamed the island Espanฬƒola (Hispaniola) meaning โ€œlittle Spainโ€. โฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃ
As the indigenous population was dying of abuse and disease, African slaves were brought in; the first 15,000 Africans arrived in 1517. The Spanish settled on the eastern part of the island but focused on their more prosperous colonies in other parts of the Americas. This led, in the early 1660s, to an incursion into the western part of the island by the French who then named it ๐’๐š๐ข๐ง๐ญ-๐ƒ๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ž. โฃโฃ

The French encountered many forms of slave resistance during the 17th and 18th centuries. Enslaved Africans who fled to remote mountainous areas were called marron (French) or mawon (Haitian Creole), meaning 'escaped slave'. The maroons formed close-knit communities that practised small-scale agriculture and hunting. They were known to return to plantations to free family members and friends. On a few occasions, they also joined the Taiฬno settlements, who had escaped the Spanish in the 17th century.โฃโฃโฃ

*****************************************************
Anacaona was born in Yaguana (today the town of Leฬogane, Haiti) in 1474. โฃ
โฃ
Anacaona (from Taiฬno anacaona, meaning โ€œgolden flowerโ€; from ana, meaning โ€œflowerโ€, and caona, meaning โ€œgold, goldenโ€) was a Taiฬno cacica (chief), born into a family of chiefs, and sister of Bohechiฬo, chief of Xaragua. Her husband was Caonabo, chief of the nearby territory of Maguana. Her brother and her husband were two of the five highest caciques who ruled the island of Ayiti (now called Hispaniola) when the Spaniards settled there in 1492. She was celebrated as a composer of ballads and narrative poems, called areiฬtos.โฃ
โฃ
She became chief of Xaragua after her brotherโ€™s death. Her husband Caonabo, suspected of having organized the attack on La Navidad (a Spanish settlement on north-western Hispaniola), was captured by Alonso de Ojeda and shipped to Spain, dying in a shipwreck during the journey โ€” as many other Taino leaders died on Spanish ships away from their native lands.โฃ
โฃ
During a feast organized by 84 regional chieftains to honor her, the Spanish Governor Nicolaฬs de Ovando ordered the meeting house to be set on fire to burn them alive. Cacica Anacaona and her Taiฬno noblemen were arrested โ€” all accused of conspiracy for resisting occupation and executed.โฃ
โฃ
Prior to her ex*****on, Anacaona was offered clemency if she would give herself as concubine to one of the Spaniards which was common in the era. ๐’๐ญ๐š๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ ๐“๐š๐ข๐ง๐จ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ, ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐‚๐š๐ซ๐ข๐›๐›๐ž๐š๐ง ๐ข๐ง๐๐ข๐ ๐ž๐ง๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฆ๐š๐ฅ๐ž ๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐๐ž๐ซ (๐œ๐š๐œ๐ข๐œ๐š) ๐œ๐ก๐จ๐ฌ๐ž ๐ž๐ฑ๐ž๐œ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ ๐œ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐’๐ฉ๐š๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ก ๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ฆ๐ฒ, ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐ซ๐ž๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐š๐ฅ ๐œ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐ฅ๐ž๐ ๐ž๐ง๐.
