Laurent Vacouabé(born Laureano Tacuavé Martínez, on July 14, 1809 in Paysandú, Uruguay, died in Paris, France) was a young native American from present day Uruguay. Son of Eustaquio Tacuavé and Francisca Martínez, younger brother of María Manuel Tacuavé(12 February 1805) and Apolinaria Tacuavé(23 July 1807). It is uncertain if he was Charrúa of Guaraní and Spaniard descents or if he was Guaraní of Spanish-Charrúan descents. After the European conquest and colonization, the Charrúa population declined at the hands of local authorities, being practically exterminated in a massacre led by Bernabé Rivera on 11 April 1831.〔Burford 16〕 Four surviving Charrúa were captured at Salsipuedes. These were Tacuabé; his partner María Micaela Guyunusa, daughter of María Rosa, born on 1806;〔(María Micaela Guyunusa daughter of María Rosa )〕 Senaca o Senaqué, a 52- to 57-year-old medicine man and warrior; and Vaimaca-Piru(Perú), a 54-year-old warrior(''cacique'' in charruan) and a general of Artigas. All four were taken to Paris, France by François Curel on November 11, 1833, where they were exhibited to the public as a circus attraction.〔Burford 16〕 Tacuabé had also a musical instrument. Guyunusa and Vaimaca gave birth to a daughter few months after they were taken. Vaimaca, Senaque and Guyunusa died during the first year in France. Eventually they all died in France, including the baby.〔 Tacuabe was baptised by the french as Jean Soulassol.〔(Guyunusa y Tacuabe: Los charruas sanduceros. )〕 It is also said that he and the child of her late wife, Micaela, escaped. In 2012 documents were found indicating that the child(Caroline Tacouabé) died of tuberculosis just like her mother, and that Laureano adopted the life of a french and probably died of sickness or age.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nuevos datos del destino de los indigenas Uruguayos )〕 In Montevideo, Uruguay there is a monument called ''The Last Charrúas'', (''Los Ultimos Charrúas'' in Spanish, depicting Tacuabé.〔Burford 119〕 They were not the first to set seas to France, a young (said to be about 18 to 20 years old) "cacique" named by a traveling Spanish ship Lieutenant, Navio Louis Marius Barra as Ramón Mataojo, (being that the native was found in "el río Mataojo grande") had traveled to France in January 1832. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Laureano Tacuavé Martínez」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
