The lord of the sky also warned the Taínos to watch out even more for people with clothes on. Chief Cáicihu fasted for a week and was worthy of his words. Brief shall be the enjoyment of life, announced the invisible one, he who has a mother but no beginning. Men wearing clothes shall come, dominate, and kill.

Unsure of whether or not the "clothes" mentioned here are about… 1. Being cautious when approaching a man wearing clothes at night because you cannot see his navel (that which distinguishes living from dead) or 2. Resisting men who come dressed in WESTERN clothes, prophecying the arrival of white colonizers, like many of these nations did (viewing them as either gods who should be respected or devils that signal the beginning of the apocalypse)
