Papiemento

My error, sorry.

Alonso de Ojeda's bride

I removed text referring to Alonso de Ojeda marrying a "Native American". I tried to find out what tribe she may have belonged to so that I could be specific, but could find no reference to the marriage at all. If someone can find a reference for this, it should be reinstated with a specific tribal identity.

Grumble

This verbose article does not give a year of settlement. Foreign language Wikis all have 1636. Benjamin Trovato (talk) Benjamin Trovato (talk) 05:03, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The year 1636, is not mentioned, and it should be. For example as the end of the Spanish period. Kallmemel (talk) 12:23, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
