Anacaona: Golden Flower

(3) 4-6 Royal Diaries series. In a mature voice, young Anacaona, a future Taíno chief, contemplates life as she records her daily activities. Disturbing premonitions foretell the invasion of European treasure seekers; her village must defend their culture and their lives. Set in Haiti in 1490, the story ends on a hopeful note, but an illustrated afterword recounts the near annihilation of the Taínos. Glos.
