He was the chief of the cacicazgo of Marién, which occupied the northwest of the island.
Guacanagarix received Christopher Columbus after the Santa María was wrecked during his first voyage to the New World. He allowed Columbus to establish the settlement of La Navidad near his village. The colonists that remained there were killed by a rival tribe before Columbus returned on his second voyage.[2]
Guacanagarix refused to ally himself with other caciques, who were trying to expel the Spaniards from the Captaincy General of Santo Domingo, and many times served as an informant and spy for the European settlers.
Guacanagarix complex
In the Dominican Republic, the term "Guacanagarix complex" has been used to describe a Dominican who is considered more interested in foreign culture than in his own country.[3]
