Columbus and Caonabó Quotes

“The pale men are far more ruthless and belligerent than our people, and our people too compromising, too conciliatory,¨ Bakako concluded. ¨They have no moral rules, and their Christ-spirit provides an excuse for all evil done in his name. Our respect for harmony and our spirits´ sincerity have left us vulnerable.¨

Tears welled in Yutowa´s eyes, and he shuddered. ¨That´s the essence.¨”
