Indio Yaguarin
Sergio Umbria
Indio Yaguarin
Native of Cumana Dates back to the year 1501
So our beloved chief Yaguarin
Is one of the first to face the invasion
Spanish. (Let's remember that the Spanish set foot
On Venezuelan land in 1492)
This makes him the oldest Chief of the
Venezuelan Indian Court He was Chief and Piache of
Great power. By the time the Spanish arrived
The Chief was already in old age and
Managed to make an agreement with the Spanish in view
That the city was not populated by mercenaries
But by Franciscans who wanted to colonize
Through religion, without weapons and without wars
This made our Chief not physically see
The threat that the colonizers represented for
The race. By the time Gonzalo Ocampo arrived in the area
More than 15 years had passed and Yaguarin had died!
He was Chief, Warrior, and Piache. On more than one occasion
He saved the lives of both indigenous people and Spaniards
From serious illnesses thanks to his Piache knowledge
This generated respect from the Spanish Franciscans
He was the first to achieve a synchronism of religions
(The ancient piaches and the Catholics) for the
Benefit of spiritual knowledge. Something that the Europeans were unable
To do, who, fearing that he would refuse
The faith they were trying to impose, prohibited keeping records
Historical of this Wise and powerful Chief Piache as well
As his teachings... They could not erase from our
History our beloved chief YAGUARIN because he
Remained in the hearts of his people and his name
Was passed from mouth to mouth like a legend
Chief Yaguarin has the power of healing, there is no
Illness that this brother Chief and Piache cannot heal
Helps overcome alcoholism and addictions
Cures asthma with a single blow, has power, is tough
Strong and courageous
