Thank you for sharing this story! I remember my father telling me that there were Spanish that visited the area---but I didn't quite believe him. My family is of both Amercian Indian and European heritage. The older people would share some of this history. It is great to see these histories now being shared more widely. It is amazing, now that I am older and we have much more technology to learn and share, I understand that many of those so called "old people's" stories were actually true (or at least based on truth). (BTW, read your bio...my Dad was a DDay vet. AND he was around when the Naval Audit Service was created. Boy...the stories he could tell. He also did some support for the Teams in the early days. So, Sir, hats off to you for duty and career. I know from living with Dad, NAS was not an easy place to work/job! Unsung heroes!)

Sadly the Spanish and well as the rest of Europeans didn't have the true gospel of the new testament they believe the trinity lie with its traditions of men they didn't understand the Apostles doctrine as found in the book of acts or Acts 2 38 and its importance they false gospel doesn't produced the new birth or changed lives its carnal.its. an other gospel

Legit response. Not sure why my fellow natives still cling to the colonizer's religion.

Muchos indígenas en Hispanoamerica son católicos actualmente.

Well, that bought them a little time. I think the serious lack of resources provided just as much defense as a few dead Spaniards did, however. The lack of fighting men among the settlers shows it was not a high priority to the Spanish. Selling the boy back seems like a questionable move, tactically speaking. Perhaps he was too young or unimportant to serve as a useful long term hostage. Possibly holding on to him was a liability, once the Spanish were aware he still lived. I don't see the Spanish making much of a settlement in Virginia at this time anyway, as their efforts to the south were so much more rewarding, and Virginia had so little to offer in terms of resources.

Thanks for making this interesting video. I have studied the life Paquiuineo for many years and I am always looking for new information about him. He was the father of Chief Powhatan. His name was Don Luis de Velasco and he was born in Velasco Cuba. I know that it sounds like a native name but it was his Portuguese nickname meaning “little Francis.” For what I have come to understand, Don Luis was the son of Jewish father that had escaped the Spanish Inquisition. We know that Columbus had brought a Hebrew interpreter named Luis. His mother was probably native. I believe that the murder of the missionaries to be revenge for the inquisition and as you say “stopping the spread of the Spanish missionaries” it that part of America. Thank you so much.

Our history tells that Paquinquino was kidnapped, like many other Native Americans, and kept prisoner/slave by the Spanish. Paquinquino was forced into Christianity, and complied until he could escape back home. He witnessed the horrors of Spanish slavery in Mexico. Paquinquino may be the same name as Opechancanough, paramount chief and relative of Powhatan. The Algonquian alliance was defending their land from invaders who were forcing Christianity on us.

Who knows, maybe what happened in Virginia may have had an affect in Roanoke. Did the Indians spread the information of this story.

That was satisfying

What's good for the goose.

Sounds like effective immigration policy.

Thank you to the nice Indian who stopped the Spanish, or else my ancestors wouldn't have landed there 60 years later lmao

People forgetting Spanish had allies from other natives tribes, few Spaniards didn’t just randomly conquer Aztec empire on its own this is a liberal ideology, just saying to make people sure about this. And I think that area was colonized by the British then 13 colonies

It wasn’t only the spanish all europeans had alliances with native tribes. They had to if they want it to succeed in America. The British settled in Virginia because the Spanish failed to colonize it. They were able to defeat them because they were busy with more important affairs. But when the British came they didn’t have the same outcome. (King Philip’s war)

Virginia was part of Spanish empire since 1513 by ponce de Leon and brtish settlers started going even though Virginia was part of Spain until 1624 Spain gave it to England and the Spanish killed a lot of indigenous with diseases and weapons and Spanish could’ve stopped the British getting to Virginia but the Spanish allowed them without a military response I think the Spanish made it a lot easer for the British to colonize while Spain basically did all the work

Spanish Catholicism is not biblical Christianity. Jesus said love your neighbor as yourself. Love your enemies. Do good to them that hate you pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you that you may be the children of your father which are in heaven.

Every denomination of Christianity had ethnocidal and genocidal settlers and boarding schools across the entire globe. Every "church" on Indigenous soil should be returned to us Indigenous peoples. You are not forgiven for your Christian colonization with your colonizer religion of death and disease. LAND BACK

@@landback1491 Hay there Sir: Any one can profess to be a Christian, but unless they are striving to follow our saviour's commands of loving their neighbor as themself. Loving their enemy. Praying for them that despitefully uses them. They are not letting God discipline them. No striving to be disciplined no disciple. Please read these beautiful, potentially life changing words. Matthew 5:1-48 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
