notes:
The Spanish easily took advantage of the Taino under the leadership of Agueybana. Agueybana, a cacique on Puerto Rico, welcomed Juan Ponce de Leon because he believed the Spaniards to be gods. In 1511, Agueybana's brother lured a Spaniard, Diego Salcedo, to a river and drowned him. His death was enough to convince the Tainos that the Spaniards were not invincible.See also Theodor de Bry's America.
