His purpose in faking his death was to escape from the Spanish, live out his life among the Zuni, and deter further exploration of the region.<br /><br />http://ourstorian.wordpress.com<br /><br />I realize it probably is not true, but I like the alternate version better. It is more in keeping with the spirit of the man. I see him more as a survivor, one who had to negotiate the best way he could to deal with his enslavement. <br /><br />I love what you're doing on this blog, and share you desire to bring all Afrodescendentes closer together.Ourstorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15755675443116178850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713119441078458095.post-3786095661768828942011-07-02T23:43:45.553-07:002011-07-02T23:43:45.553-07:00Thank you very much Orlando.
