Urracá
Urracá or Ubarragá Maniá Tigrí was an amerindian Ngäbe chieftain or cacique who fought effectively against the Spanish conquistadors. Captured at one point, Urracá managed to escape a Spanish bound ship and rejoin his own people, thus continuing to lead the fight against the Spanish until his death in 1531. He is also remembered as ''el caudillo amerindio de Veragua,'' adversary of the Spanish Empire, the great rebel in the current territory of Panama, and the one who faced the Spanish conquistadors. His face can be found on the smallest-denomination ''centesimo'' coin of Panama.
==History==
Shortly after the foundation of Panama City in 1519, the Spanish Governor-Captain Pedrarias Dávila began moving into the country, wanting to find a gold-rich village. The Spanish conquered the Veragua province, which is particularly rich in gold mining, and Urracá's territorial area was in the vicinity of the present town of Nata de los Caballeros, founded on 20 May 1520 to serve as a basis for exploration of the rest of Central America.〔 〕 Urracá bravely faced the Spanish expedition for almost nine years, and repeatedly defeated the conquistadors, led by Gaspar de Espinosa. When Espinoza was called back to Panama by Pedrarias Dávila, Francisco de Compañón was commissioned to his post. Urracá then attacked the population, but Compañón managed to send a report on the situation to Panama and Pedrarias so decided to send a battalion led by Juan Ponce de León.
Urracá succeeded in making alliances with tribes traditionally enemies of his, in order to defeat the Spaniards.〔 18649121〕 Caciques such as Ponca, Dures, Duraria, Bulaba, Guisia, Guaniaga, Tabor, Guracona, Guaniagos and other great masters of Veragua united under his command. However, the arrival of Ponce de León forced his allies to raise the siege, prompting Pedrarias himself to reach Nata with new forces. There were bloody clashes, without any of the parties achieving complete victory. In a subsequent battle, Urracá forces managed to defeat Captain Diego de Albitres, who escaped and accounted to the governor of Castilla del Oro.
