Los de Caonabopudieron levantar la caraen la lectura de los signos
que soportaban sus estandartesen la voz aguda y larga
de la palabra completa queescondían en el azar
Los del Maguanapudieron levantar la cara
en la esculturaprimer anillo
mirada inalcanzablemuro ausente de la carne
piedra blanca
Los del valle Nitipudieron levantar la cara
en el ser hondo del nombreen el lenguaje de los huesos resecados
en el cambio jadeante de medula y semental

Los nacidos del vientre de Anacaonapudieron levantar la cara
cambiar de nombreen la piedraen el anillo
en el lenguajeen el ser hondo
en la palabra completa blanca
en el enigma de su signoen su lenguaje de lenguaje
y ser poema al hablar
Pero llegaron ellos y embriagaron de prisas sus tiempos,
les impusieron culpas,vergüenzas por la desnudez de sus cuerpos
y desde entoncesles impusieron el miedo
La mirada del ibero desgarró el signoquebró el transito del rito
la epopeya del Cemíy sus dominios

What is civilization?
Its marks are a noble religion
and philosophy,
original arts, stirring music,
rich story and legend.
We had these.

Things may be going well
for you one day,
then something happens
and you are destroyed.
This is the way life is.
Remember, it can happen
to you, too.

Encounter by Jane Yolen
“ So it was we lost our lands to the strangers from the sky (The Spainards). We gave our souls
to their gods. We took their speech into our mouths,
forgetting our own. Our sons and daughters became their
sons and daughters, no longer true humans, no longer ours.
That is why I, am old man now, dream no more dreams. That is
why I sit here wrapped in a stranger’s cloak, counting the
stranger’s bells on a string, telling my story. May it be a
warning to all the children and all the people in every land” (p.
27).

We are also products of a rich and ancient culture
which supersedes and makes bearableany oppressions we are forced to bear.
We believe in tribalism,we believe that tribalism
is what has caused us to endure. - 1961, National Indian YouthConference policy statement
