CACIQUE - Taino

36 x 48 original oil on wood 

O, brave Taino cacique,

With heart so pure and strong,

You led your people's way

Through right and noble wrong.

With wisdom and with love,

You ruled with gentle hand,

And kept your tribes united,

Throughout your native land.

In battle and in peace,

Your courage never waned,

And all who knew your name,

Were honored and acclaimed.

Now, in these modern times,

We honor your brave name,

And pledge to keep your legacy,

Of hope and peace aflame.

O, brave Taino cacique,

Your spirit lives on strong,

And we will follow in your steps,

And keep your memory long.
