actions of the natives. The
Spanish response to the taking of the skiff did seem somewhat over the top, but that in itself suggests that the natives didn't give much indication to the Spanish that they were assuming that it was all about engaging in trade. It will be very difficult, or perhaps impossible, to ever ascertain the detailed facts of the incident exactly. Anybody who says that the natives assumed that the Spanish were engaging in trade is only guessing.

the first
Europeans landed. It is likely that the Seminoles migrated from somewhere else, therefore being aborigines and immigrants. The Europeans group were also immigrants, but not aboriginal nor indigenous. Their offspring, however, were not immigrants or aborigines. They were indigenous just like any person born in Florida.
867:
as to land, they stole very quickly the small boat called a skiff which was fastened to the poop of the captain's ship. At which he, being very angry, went ashore with forty armed men. And burning some forty or fifty houses with several boats and killing seven men of the said island, they recovered their skiff.
913:
HkCaGu, That's what I said. It was illogical. But now you have corrected that illogical aspect of the paragraph. It only remains now for you to produce a source which confirms your assertion that the natives assumed that
Magellan was engaing in trade and that their actions were not theft. Pigafetta's
948:
Well I'm waiting to see those other accounts. How would the people living in the
Mariana Islands today know better than what it says in Pigafetta's diary? The native Chamorros that were around at the time of Magellan's voyage died a long time ago. So I really don't know what your higher authority on
1203:
Indigenous is a synonym for native. Aboriginal means, very generally, existing in a location for longer than anyone can remember -- They've "always" been there. Consider it this way: In the
American state of Florida, the Seminoles are aboriginal. The tribe was there and had been for centuries when
1126:
The historic site for the landing of
Magellan's fleet on Guam is stated as Umatac, Guam. The section goes on to state that this is probably not true, as further study of the "navigator's diary" reveals that Magellan's fleet passed between a large island to the north and a much smaller island to the
866:
And the captain-general wished to approach the largest of these three islands to replenish his provisions. But it was not possible, for the people of those islands entered the ships and robbed us so that we could not protect ourselves from them. And when we wished to strike and take in the sails so
798:
That being said, WE are not taotaomo'na. We are just taotao, and if you must qualify it, we are taotao pĂĄ'go. Moreover, to say
Magellan was met by the taotaomo'na is misleading. In the most literal sense, it is true, because they were the people before us, however, in the more commonly understood
979:
In that case, it's best to leave
Pigafetta's diary alongside the so-called common account to let readers make up their own minds, since Pigafetta's diary is the only existing written source on the matter. It strikes me that certain persons have been trying to make retrospective excuses for the
871:
I do not see any evidence at all for your interpretation of the events. And I would advise you to have a look at the precise way in which you have worded your own account of events on the main article. You have implied that the
Spanish considered the act of being given supplies to be theft.
845:
You cannot flip the order of events. The
Chamorros gave supplies first, and then took whatever from the Spanish. This is the way I read it in every source I encountered. One or both sides probably didn't "negotiate" properly or simultaneously, leading to the perception of theft.
1263:
The majority of "history" (here it would be oral history, and other non-European forms of recording information) (McGregor et al 2018) of these islands took place before European encroachment and invasion (Hau'ofa 1994). Calling this "prehistory" is pretty white supremacist
861:
HkCaGu, I will now read directly from Antonio Pigafetta's diary. Antonio Pigafetta was one of the few people who returned home to Spain alive after that three year journey. So I don't know what sources you are talking about. Here is an exact quote from Pigafetta's diary,
794:
I don't think you quite understand the meaning of "taotaomo'na." Taotaomo'na does literally translate to "People who came before." However, that does not only mean the ancient ancestors from the pre-Spanish era. The term taotaomo'na is in reference to ALL our ancestors.
1268:) and we might want to sit with what sort of concepts we are reinforcing with our discourse (Foucault, any of them, though Said 1978 would be more topical). Thoughts (not if they're racist or if you haven't sat with them first plz, or if you havent read
1153:
I changed the spelling Chamuru to Chamorro in the second paragraph for the sake of consistency, because it was spelled Chamorro in all other instances in the article. However, I do see that there is debate on which spelling is most appropriate (see
720:
Right, and to clarify, in 1898 the Mariana Islands were split into two politcal entities: Guam (which became a US territory) and the Northern Marianas (which became a German colony). See the specific articles for their present political fates.
702:
The article refers to some islands as US territories, and others as US commonwealth, but the article is under the category of "german colonies." This is, at least on the surface, contradictory, and merits either correction or explanation.
897:
I don't know how you read the word "this" to mean the supplying, as only "taking" (the boat) can logically be considered theft. Regardless, I changed the wording to reduce ambiguity. What you quoted was obviously not the first encounter.
829:
The main article reads "The Spanish crew, assuming that the natives were giving them the supplies, considered this theft - - ". I doubt very much if that is the way that the Spanish crew thought. Hence I will revert once again.
771:
Marianas, not the commonwealth. There's no reason to confuse the issue by including details about each one (like the areas) here: put such things in the county-specific articles unless they pertain to the old colony. Thanks!

875:
So your edit is wrong on two counts. You have painted a picture of the Spanish as being unreasonable people who went ashore, interpreted hospitality as theft, and then attacked those that had given them supplies.
1130:
But as the reader, this would then seem to support Umatac as being the location of Magellan's first landing, since it's right there on the south of Guam where you'd be if you pass between Guam and Cocos.
1207:
That's the high-level discussion. Next we need to decide how the Cherokee Nation should be considered under these rules. Does one lose aboriginal "status" if they are no longer in that historic place?
