"Here is the God the Spaniards worship. For these [Jewels and gold] they fight and kill; for these they persecute us and that is why we have to throw them into the sea... They tell us, these tyrants, that they adore a God of peace and equality, and yet they usurp our land and make us their slaves. They speak to us of an immortal soul and of their eternal rewards and punishments, and yet they rob our belongings, seduce our women, violate our daughters. Incapable of matching us in valor, these cowards cover themselves with iron that our weapons cannot break"

Beliefs

Crime and Punishment

Small crimes will be dealt with by the related individuals if needed, but for larger crimes, they will be addressed by the council with a zero tolerance policy, as the safety of the community is important. Punishments would vary from crime to crime for instance, for theft, you’d have to repay the person you stole from with an object of equal value or return the stolen item. However, for very serious crimes, the punishment would either be banishment from the community or, in some cases, death. I only think the death penalty is necessary for mass murderers or r*pists, as simply kicking them out of the community wouldn’t be enough to stop them. Of course, there must be enough evidence to convict these people.

Economic

• Goods and services are to be exchanged directly without using money. The value of goods and services is determined by the parties involved in the exchange, and both sides must agree on what constitutes a fair trade. This system relies on mutual needs and the willingness to negotiate, working best in sall commnities where people can easily find matches for their needs.

• Private property would be owned and managed by family members collectively. Thsi includes real estate, businesses, and other assets, and decisions are made by family consensus.

• My ancestors had an economy based on farming, fishing, and trading. They grew crops like cassava, corn, and batatas, and they also fished and hunted. Trade was important, and they exchanged goods like food, pottery, woven items, and tools with nearby tribes like the Caribs and Arawaks. This trading helped them get things they couldn't find locally and built strong community ties. It would be ideal if we could return to this system.

• Local agricultural trade is a steady (enough) way for communities to make money (rather than stinky forced taxes and wars) and would help fund tribal events. It's better to be self-sufficient and not rely too much on outside markets, which makes communities stronger and more resilient.

Social organization

• Village councils:
• Village councils Are comprised of elected Nitainos, Elders, and other skilled individuals that have benefited the community. These village council will make important decisions for the community like diplomatic relations with neighboring communities and they would also make important political decisions.

Ceremonial

• The Cacique:
• The Cacique holds the important responsibility of planning various events within their community. These events can range from public feasts to gatherings held in collaboration with neighboring communities. By organizing such events, the Cacique ensures that traditions are upheld and community bonds are strengthened.

• The Behique:
• The Behique guided the village’s religious activities and performed sacred rituals. They undertook spiritual quests to discern the will of the Zemi’no and predict the future.

• The Nitainos (Nobility):
• The Nitanos were noble warriors who took part in village councils to discuss and vote on village matters. They were in charge of establishing local boundaries and managing fishing and hunting rights.

• The Naboria (laborers)

Political

There won't be any social hierarchies. We'll dismantle concepts like the bourgeois and proletariat. Peole will live freely without the oppression of hierarchies. Everyone will have equal access to resources and opportunities, and there won't be power struggles. Removing these false divisions can create a community where people help each other instead of competting and exploiting one another.

🧉 The displacement of indigenous peoples 🧉

I believe that the European age of exploration was invasive and destructive to the natural order of culture in both Europe and all of the continents they invaded. Leaving their native lands created a vacuum in Europe for other cultures to fill, and this is not only destructive for the native Europeans but also destructive for the non-natives coming into Europe, as it leaves their native lands empty, causing a domino effect of peoples being replaced or removed.

The Americas seem to be the epicenter of this replacement. I haven’t seen any other continent that has experienced a complete displacement of their native population.
