My error, sorry.

I removed text referring to Alonso de Ojeda marrying a "Native American". I tried to find out what tribe she may have belonged to so that I could be specific, but could find no reference to the marriage at all. If someone can find a reference for this, it should be reinstated with a specific tribal identity.

:The year 1636, is not mentioned, and it should be. For example as the end of the Spanish period. Kallmemel (talk) 12:23, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
