King Ferdinand’s Letter to the Arawak/Taino
Author: Bob Corbett
Type: tribal
Description: “… letter which King Ferdinand sent along with Columbus on his second voyage to Haiti. It was to be communicated to the Taino/Arawak Indians. It is a fascinating document. The King wants the Indians to acknowledge the Christian religion and God, and to accept the authority of the King of Spain. The letter is a mix of promises of benefits that will come to them, but quickly followed up with the direst of threats if they do not comply.”
“… this letter was reprinted in one of de las Casas’ books.”
