The White Jaguar

The White Jaguar: a moving tale of a strange and wonderful people in a strange and wonderful land.
In 1726, a Virginian privateer was sunk in the Caribbean and its only survivor, a Polish-Virginian running from the law, washed ashore on an uninhabited island. At first, he dreamed of nothing other than returning to his civilization, but Fate had other plans. It put the Arawak Indians in his path and in time, they became his adopted nation. Spanish chronicles record the presence of a white warrior among the Arawaks and, as late as 1942, the Arawaks themselves told tales of their White Jaguar.
This is his story.

“The jungle woke up joyfully with the sound of animals and birds, as always astonishing with the splendor of its greenery, its irresistible lust for life, the sensual madness of birth.
In the first rays of the morning sun, I saw large birds flying from shore to shore in the sky, not black, not predatory. They were the noble ararauna parrots, so bright and magnificent in their captivating color that, at that moment, they seemed to me to be the most beautiful creatures in the world. The sight of them was dazzling and imbued one with belief in the ineffable powers of this wilderness and its unfathomable, unexplored, indestructible beauty.
Was it a surprise that on such a morning, one’s heart swelled with joy? Over there, up above, were those gorgeous birds, and down here, right beside me, was Lasana, and Arnak, and Vagura, and Pedro, and all the others, all my friends, and there was the brisk sound of the oars with which we rowed in unison for the shores of our Imataca.”
