Seguimos mostrando más de la Colección Bicentenario del diario el Correo del Orinoco, de Venezuela, y en esta oportunidad escribimos en torno a la sencilla publicación Resistencia Indígena , con guión de Michel Bonnefoy e ilustración de Omar Cruz, y en la que nos ofrecen una visión de una manera diáfana, comprensible para niños y adultos, tal guión para radio o televisión, la agresión que sufrieron los primitivos habitantes de este continente del south in that meeting and no discovery (writer's firm belief relevant ), with the brutal European empires.
Thus, Bonnefoy writes:
Shortly after landing, the English unveiled their very nature, that the native peoples suffered in the flesh. The conquistadors never fed other purpose that was not rich at the expense of the exploitation of the discovered lands (in our opinion the correct word is unknown) and its native population.
Bonnefoy Refers to the view that the same Christopher Columbus had become of that meeting with the original inhabitants of South America, to write with disqualification and ignorance in his diary on December 16, 1492, the following:
"They do not have guns and are very cowardly and so are good to send them and make them work, grow and make everything else that was necessary.
In this opening chapter, refers to indigenous Bonnefoy opposed to the wishes of the English and knew what was coming for him, that is, they rode a metal shackles and step up would be forced to work as slaves for foreign aggressors. And such behavior towards men was equally valid for women and worse, because these also met the needs of these criminals from other lands. And so:
The excesses committed (a widespread tendency in those who are known holders of military force, relevant view ) and injustice established by the force caused the rebellion of the natives throughout the Americas. Canoabo, chief of the Caribs, led the first uprising in the island The English , where he took by assault the Fort Christmas , killing its 39 occupants. In subsequent battles were fought the troops of Columbus, to be defeated and imprisoned by Alonso de Ojeda, who sent him along with his brother to Spain to be sold into slavery in 1496.
The first great lesson of our Aboriginal
Interesting register here what the professor writes University of Carabobo (Venezuela), José Manuel Hermoso González, in his book Leading People (1498-1798) History of social and political struggles of the Venezuelan people , in Chapter First Great War for liberty and other struggles, as an introduction writes:
In an age so far for our readers as 1955, and the renowned teacher and historian Isaac J. Pardo had published his valuable history of the sixteenth century Venezuelan titled The Land of Grace. study whose content could also be titled "using the expression for the first time we heard from the mouth of that other great Venezuelan Miguel Acosta was called Saignes- History of the hundred years of indigenous resistance to the conquest of Venezuela.
Indeed, during the first hundred years since the explorers and later European conquerors rested for the first time your plants over the territory in 1498, until well beyond 1598, the natives of these lands gave us a first lesson of struggle for freedom.
continues:
But not only Indians. What might be called sociological and historical, root or parent of the Venezuelan people, in other words, the people in the process of emergence, that people which was being formed, the was doing just struggling, fighting against their oppressors. For Indians, blacks and mestizos the struggle for freedom has always been a meeting place and form of integration.
Professor González Hermoso continues to write:
And so it has continued sendo. Indeed, the Venezuelan people is one of the few countries in the world that has always fought against oppression. Inside and outside our borders. Venezuela has never participated in a war against another nation. A Venezuelan never crossed the boundaries of the country to invade, oppress, conquer and colonize other rubles.
We just fought outside our borders to carry the flag freedom and sovereignty to the country Grande Latin, wielded with a song of unity and integration in the gorges. Tricolor flag that flew in the glorious hands of Bolivar, Sucre, Flores and Urdaneta, along with other well-known parents nationality.
Guaicaipuro, the first great war for freedom
In Indigenous Resistance, Michel Bonnefoy says that at 20 years young and Guaicaipuro assumes command and Caracas tribes Teques, after he had died in 1550 and is the chief Catuche the young Indian, holder of great shrewdness, sagacity and strategic skill of teaching and research according to Hermoso González, who will keep in check the conquerors for a long time, much what would be done.
For its part, Bonnefoy says Guaicaipuro "faced for the first time with the English when they invaded the territory of the Teques to exploit a gold mine." Write
Guicaipuro Bonnefoy that would have made a strategic alliance with other chiefs in the region, however, for the professor Hermoso González is deeper. He writes that "In early 1560, Fajardo (Francisco) went to the Coast and founded the town of El Collado (current Caraballeda) which, with its own council- became the largest city the central region during those years. At that time starts historically liberating crusade to enshrine the deeds of the great cacique Guaicaipuro and his "staff" composed Paramaconi, Terepaima, Cayaurima, Tiuna Tamanaco Caurimare and many others as Guaicamacuto, Guarauguta, Aricabacuto, Chacao and Baruta. "
Despite the above and can have a lot of courage, about 20,000 in total was available to give a final battle to defeat the English, it worked well against the English native operating who ran Guaicaipuro. Shortly thereafter, was the victim of some 80 men sent by Diego de Losada and in front of whom was the mayor Francisco Infante. Amazing night attacked the chief, but he preferred to die rather than surrender.
In Indigenous Resistance , Bonnefoy describes it as follows:
Surrounded at his headquarters in Suruape by troops sent by Diego de Losada, prefers to die fighting before being captured as a slave. According to the chronicles and the time, these were his last words: "Ah, English ... I am Guaicaipuro cowards who seek and who was never afraid of your nation proud. Here I am, kill me, so that you see yourself with my death without fear that I caused you always! "
