Watch my latest history documentary:-
In 1536, when slave catchers near modern day Culiacán, Mexico, saw four bedraggled travellers approach them in the desert heat, they were shocked to discover that the men were Christians, and spoke Spanish. They were the last surviving members of the ill-fated Narváez expedition to Florida in 1527 and they had lived in the wild expanse of North America, cut off from their homeland and the rest of civilisation as they knew it, for the last nine years…

A shame the horrors the Spaniards inflicted on the Native Americans.

But to be very clear, you are saying the man the myth, the legend Mr. Voca who has s being acknowledged not only advocated for all indigenous peoples! 😇
But also may have been responsible for bringing or spreading those very same diseases with fellow crew that killed about 90% of the people those in that area.. 😱

Su nombre realmente fue Alvar, que actualmente seria Álvaro, un nombre muy normal en España, y el apellido Cabeza de Vaca, era un honor en aquellos tiempos, pues el origen era como consecuencia de una gran batalla ganada a los árabes en la lucha entre los cristianos, "Las navas de Tolosa", el escribió un libro "NAUFRAGOS" que relata las vivencias sufridas en el sur de los EEUU. Sin duda un gran ser humano, digno de grandes películas, pero la política ante española en la historia la oculta, pero eso no impide, EEUU, tiene una deuda con España.

que manía con meter la leyenda negra, empiezas un vídeo para ver algo de Cabeza de Vaca, 3 minutos, y termina con Bartolomé de las Casas, empiezo a ver poca seriedad en lo tocante al tema de la liberación de américa, que no conquista, por parte de España, te tengo fichado
