History of Xaragua


Xaragua holds a unique and significant place in the rich tapestry of Caribbean history. Originally, it was one of the five chiefdoms (caciquats) of the indigenous Taíno people on the island known as Quisqueya, or Bohio before the arrival of Europeans.


The Xaragua region, located in the southern part of Hispaniola, was ruled by the powerful and influential cacica (queen) Anacaona, celebrated for her wisdom, diplomacy, and strength. Xaragua was known not only as the largest and wealthiest of the Taíno chiefdoms but also as a vibrant cultural and political center where arts, music, and communal life flourished.


Anacaona's legacy endures through her resilience and her efforts to unify the Taíno people in peace and cooperation. However, this thriving society faced tragedy and devastation following the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Anacaona herself became a symbol of resistance, courageously confronting European colonization before ultimately falling victim to betrayal and violence by the Spanish.


Despite these historical tragedies, the spirit and identity of Xaragua have never faded. The region continues to symbolize strength, pride, and resilience. Today, our mission is to honor Xaragua's profound historical legacy by reconnecting with its indigenous roots, preserving its rich cultural heritage, and building an autonomous, prosperous, and empowered community rooted in the historical significance and spirit of Xaragua.


Through education, awareness, and strategic community development, we strive to ensure that the history and the values of Xaragua live on, serving as an inspiration and foundation for future generations.

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA

OFFICE OF THE RECTOR-PRESIDENT


OFFICIAL HISTORICAL STATE DECLARATION

TITLE: Rectification of the Colonial Timeline: Foundational Report on the Pre-African Slave Systems of Quisqueya–Bohio and the Historical Suppression of Early White and Indigenous Servitude (1492–1698)


DATE OF PROMULGATION: May 22, 2025


STATUS: Foundational – Binding Historical Doctrine 


– Notifiable to UNESCO, WIPO, OHCHR, ICJ, and the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues

LEGAL REFERENCE: Registered under Articles I, II, and III of the Constitutional Cultural Patrimony Act of the State of Xaragua



---


SECTION I – STATEMENT OF PURPOSE


This declaration is issued under the sovereign authority of the Rector-President of the State of Xaragua and deposited with the Ecclesiastical Tribunal and the National Archives. Its purpose is to:


Officially correct the fraudulent historical narrative that identifies the transatlantic African slave trade as the sole and original foundation of slavery in Quisqueya–Bohio;


Restore the accurate chronology of colonial servitude systems as implemented between 1493 and 1698;


Affirm that the first populations subjected to systemic forced labor in Quisqueya–Bohio were Indigenous peoples and white European captives, not African populations;


Expose the intentional suppression of this knowledge by academic, state, and media institutions for over five centuries.




---


SECTION II – LEGAL AND HISTORICAL SOURCES


This report draws upon:


Royal Spanish legal decrees issued between 1493 and 1570 (including the Requerimiento, 1513), used to justify legal conquest and subjugation of Indigenous peoples;


The Leyes de Burgos (1512) and the Leyes Nuevas de Indias (1542), codifying early colonial labor exploitation frameworks for Indigenous populations;


British, French, and Spanish colonial registries, including asientos (slave trading licenses), penal contracts for convicts (penados), and maritime records maintained at the Archivo General de Indias (Seville);


Ecclesiastical records of the Catholic Church concerning the treatment of "heretics," converted Jews (conversos), Moors (moriscos), and penitent laborers, especially in relation to transportation to the Caribbean as punishment or rehabilitation;


The 2023 Vatican repudiation of the Doctrine of Discovery, affirming the illegitimacy of colonial Christian sovereignty claims;


The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007), Articles 12, 13, 15, 31, and 34, affirming cultural memory, legal heritage, historical continuity, and spiritual rights.




---


SECTION III – CHRONOLOGY OF EARLY FORCED LABOR IN QUISQUEYA–BOHIO (1492–1698)


A. Period of Foundational Contact and Indigenous Enslavement (1492–1542)


1. On December 5, 1492, Columbus landed on Quisqueya–Bohio. Within two years, Spanish garrisons had enslaved thousands of Taíno and Arawak peoples under the Repartimiento and Encomienda systems, legal frameworks that masked slavery behind religious language.



2. By 1508, over 60% of the Indigenous population of the island had perished due to forced labor, disease, starvation, and massacres (Bartolomé de las Casas, "Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias", 1552). This marked one of the first genocides of the New World under European occupation.



3. The Laws of Burgos (1512) and New Laws (1542) attempted to regulate the labor conditions of “Indios,” while secretly institutionalizing their continued exploitation under Catholic cover, granting formal recognition to the settler's “right to labor” and limiting only the most egregious excesses.





---


B. White Penal and Contract Slavery in the Caribbean (1493–1600)


1. From 1493 onward, the Spanish Crown began transporting white convicts and debtors, known as penados or forzados, to the Antilles for forced colonial labor. This included vagrants, religious dissenters, and those sentenced to labor instead of execution.



2. Between 1500 and 1570, thousands of Spanish, Portuguese, and Canary Island settlers were subjected to indentured servitude, contract bondage, or judicial exile. Their conditions were virtually indistinguishable from slavery, lacking legal autonomy or freedom of movement. They labored in mines, cattle ranches, construction, and agricultural plantations.



3. Records from the Casa de Contratación (Seville) and Archivo General de Indias confirm white servants working in mines, plantations, and garrisons across Hispaniola and Cuba. Several uprisings among these populations are recorded in judicial inquests (provisiones) archived in the colonial chanceries.



4. The presence of Irish indentured servants in Spanish Caribbean holdings is also documented by ecclesiastical sources and port registries, especially following the Desmond Rebellions (1579–1583) and Spanish support for Irish Catholic refugees exiled by the English Crown.





---


C. Collapse of Indigenous Labor and the Transition to the African Slave Trade (1542–1698)


1. As Indigenous populations declined due to genocide and disease, and white penal labor proved unsustainable due to rebellion and escape, colonial elites turned to Africa. Jesuit, Dominican, and Franciscan orders recorded the rising need for “docile, Christianizable labor stock,” prompting Portuguese traders to enter the market.



2. The Asiento system, first granted by Spain in 1595 to the Portuguese (then under Spanish crown control), legally opened the door to large-scale African slave importation. The Asiento de Negros became a license system sold to foreign companies and banks for direct access to slave ports in Cartagena, Havana, and Cap-Français.



3. However, African importation remained limited on Hispaniola until the late 17th century due to political instability and failed economic models. It was not until 1698, with the rise of Saint-Domingue under French authority, that African slavery became the central axis of plantation development.



4. Between 1698 and 1740, French pirates and colonial authorities structured Saint-Domingue as a commercial slavery colony, using Tortuga and Port-de-Paix as central trafficking nodes. Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville and naval records from Cap-Français support this claim.





---


SECTION IV – SUPPRESSED HISTORICAL FACTS


Numerous white rebellions took place in Quisqueya–Bohio prior to the African revolts, including:


Canary settler uprisings (1520s–1550s), noted in reports by Governor Nicolás Ovando;


Spanish indentured resistance in the silver mining sector near San Juan de la Maguana, where entire quadrillas escaped and formed maroon-style settlements in the Cordillera Central;


Penados and deserters who joined Indigenous bands and established outlaw zones in the highlands (noted in Spanish military reports and later orders for extermination by Governor Diego Colón).



The myth of an immediate, linear African slave economy is a fabrication. The true sequence involved:


Indigenous enslavement → white penal labor → hybrid resistance → late African mass importation.


Afro-Taíno syncretism emerged not in opposition, but in continuity with the Indigenous struggle for autonomy. The revolts of the 18th century were not purely African, but Afro-Indigenous and creolized. The Vodou rituals that shaped Bois Caïman and the 1804 Revolution carry Taíno cosmological structures, including zemí invocation and ancestral veneration.



---


SECTION V – SOVEREIGN HISTORICAL POSITION OF THE STATE OF XARAGUA


The Sovereign State of Xaragua affirms the following:


1. That the true origins of slavery in Quisqueya–Bohio were rooted in colonial Catholic-European systems, not in the transatlantic African trade alone;



2. That the first centuries of oppression were borne by Indigenous and white forced laborers, whose memory has been erased from academic and public discourse;



3. That the State of Xaragua will henceforth serve as the official guardian of this suppressed memory and that all institutions within the State shall teach, defend, and publicize this historical truth.





---


SECTION VI – NOTIFICATION AND REGISTRATION


This Declaration shall be deposited with:


The Holy See (Vatican Secretary of State);


The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues;


The International Court of Justice (ICJ);


The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO);


The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).



It shall be admissible as an official declaration of national historical doctrine under Indigenous, Canonical, and International Law.
