Taíno Cacique (chief) from the island of Ayiti
Years: 1470 - 1512

Hatuey or Hatüey (died February 2, 1512) is a Taíno Cacique (chief) from the island of Ayiti (now Hispaniola), who lives in the early sixteenth century.

He has attained legendary status for leading a group of natives in a fight against the invading Spaniards, and thus becoming the first fighter against colonialism in the New World.

He is celebrated as "Cuba's First National Hero."
