[Juan José Ponce Vázquez @jjponcevazquez]

I interact with smart, curious, and intellectually ambitious students on a daily basis. Unlike older adults, many of them are not morally bankrupt yet, and they are willing to pursue those values. Where adults have given up, they are pointing the way. Listen to them.

Remembering the Enslaved Indigenous Women

We recognize Women’s History Month, though today (& everyday) the team at Native Bound Unbound remember the Indigenous women whose experiences were marked by slavery.

Among the millions,

we remember Juliana, the Guarani woman whose story first emerges in a document from 1543 charged with killing her enslaver, Nuño de Cabrera, & whose name remains a symbol of Indigenous resistance in Paraguay to this day;

we remember Inés, an “India” taken from Peru, who sued for her freedom in 1556;

we remember Faith, Hope, & Charity, so named by French explorer & founder of Québec, Samuel de Champlain who expressed a desire to send Indigenous girls to France, that were evidently “given” to him by the Montagnais people;

we remember Gracia, the Apache woman sold in Parral, Mexico in 1654 by Francisco de Lima Bartolome Hernandez;

we remember Juliana, a woman who in 1689 is identified as having been traded in the interior of Amazonia for a large piece of linen;

we remember Judith, an Apalachee woman taken captive by the English in 1704 & sold in South Carolina to a Virginian named Francis Coleman whom she would serve until her death;

we remember Lucia Cámara, the Maya woman who was seized by slavers on the Yucatán’s port of Sisal in 1859 and sold into a family in Havana, Cuba and while eventually gaining her freedom in 1870, disappears from the historical record;

we remember Margarita, the Navajo woman sold in 1861 to Juan Andres Trujillo of San Luis, Colorado, USA, & who in 1868 would appear before the court to declare her freedom.

We are dedicated to tracing the arc of each of these lives and millions more, each story worth remembering.
