Platano Con Salami History

The Laws of Burgos were created and passed in 1512. There were then 4 amendments that followed in 1513. I found it interesting how they reiterated the fact that pregnant women could not work in the mines, meaning that it was a serious problem that was constantly violated. In this clip, I share if these laws were enforced and how the Taino people were affected. Did these laws actually make their lives better? Did it make it worse? What happened after? Hope you guys like it. Full episode today at 3pm Est time.

Laws 22 to 35 finish off the laws of Burgos of 1512. We get to hear more about the “Visitor”, or the Royal Inspector, who was supposed to enforce these laws and keep an eye on the treatment of the Taino. We also see the importance of social status for the Spanish crown as they implemented laws that protected the Caciques and their wives from forced labor,, gave them special clothing and their own servants.

Laws 9 thru 21 revealed that the Caciques were still taking multiple wives, that the Areitos were still being performed and that the punishment for taking Tainos that weren’t yours was 100 lashes. That young Taino boys were being used as page boys (servants to noblemen) and teachers for the other Tainos. The laws tried to touch on all aspects of the Tainos’ lives on the island of Espanola, and on the other islands of Boriquen (Puerto Rico 🇵🇷) and Cuba 🇨🇺. Each island was given a set of the laws to be read out in public squares, making sure all knew of their existence.

Los Tainos and Las Leyes de Burgos
Of 1512 Parts 1-4, with the long form being uploaded next Friday 1/9/26

The first laws to ever regulate Native Americans were designed specifically for the Tainos of the Caribbean, La Española 🇩🇴, Cuba 🇨🇺 and Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, and we’re known as the Laws of Burgos of 1512. They regulated their lives, their relationships, and mainly their religion. Its easy to see the good intentions some of the laws had. But they were idealistic and difficult to enforce. Seen as the first wave of civil rights in the Americas, these laws were never fully enforced and instead served as a pathway to chattel slavery.

Platano Con Salami History

I think it's interesting how the Taino believed that the guanin, the gold alloy they used for their jewelry and worn by most of the people, which they also believed was sacred, was given to them by a woman. This to me shows their view point of women as producers of important aspects of their soceity. The legend also depicts a man, Guayaona, as a disruptive factor in their society. He manipulates both the first cacique (k**Ing him) and also the women (in essence kidnapping them). He took their women away and their way of life was then dismantled. It shows the destructive role of man, not only as an outsider, but also a member of their own society. After watching the video, I would love to know, what do you think this legend teaches us about the Tainos? What questions are generated by analyzing this legend? Share in the comments section of the video ❤️

There are few documents that specifically include the names of Caciques from La Española. But one Cacique who is mentioned is el Cacique Enrique, or Enriquillo, as many know him. He is my next historical figure ❤️ His life was not long, but his name is forever plastered into history.
