During the colonial period, thousands of North American Native
peoples travelled to Cuba independently as traders, diplomats,
missionary candidates, immigrants, or refugees; others were
forcibly transported as captives, slaves, indentured labourers, or
prisoners of war. Over the half millennium after Spanish contact,
Cuba served as the principal destination and residence of peoples
as diverse as the Yucatec Mayas of Mexico; the Calusa, Timucua,
Creek, and Seminole peoples of Florida; and the Apache and Puebloan
cultures of the northern provinces of New Spain. In this first
history of the significant and diverse Amerindian presence in Cuba
during and well beyond the early colonial period, Yaremko
demonstrates the diverse, multifaceted, and dynamic nature of the
indigenous diaspora in colonial Cuba. Acknowledging these groups'
role in geopolitical, diplomatic, economic, and diasporic
processes, Yaremko argues that these migrants played an essential
role in the historical development of Cuba. With case studies and
documentation from various sites, Yaremko's narrative presents a
fuller history of Amerindian migration and diaspora in Cuba and the
rest of Latin America.
