We call it Hatuey day in my house 😎

The TaΓ­no chiefs in Cuba did not respond to Hatuey's message, and few joined him to fight.

:(

[Hatuey], thinking a little, asked the religious man if Spaniards went to heaven. The religious man answered yes... The chief then said without further thought that he did not want to go there but to hell so as not to be where they were and where he would not see such cruel people. This is the name and honour that God and our faith have earned.
