It is astonishing to us that there were Macurije Indians of Cuba who were not subjugated until 1576. While their ultimate fate is not clear, they were presumably forced to labor for Cristobal Sotolongo after he encountered and relocated them from their hideout. This reminds us of similar references in Hispaniola to Indians residing in hidden spots of the mountains and hills to escape colonial rule and exploitation. PARES is a priceless resource.
