Bartolome Colon hermano y lugarteninte de Cristobal Colon, asiste al incendio de carne humana.
Seis hombrese estrenan el quemadero de Haiti. El humo hace toser. Los seis estan ardiendo por castigo y escarmiento: han hundido bajo tierra las imagenes de Cristo y la Virgen que fray Ramon Pane les habia dejado para su proteccion y consuelo. Fray Ramon les habia ensenado a orar de rodillas, a decir Avemarias y Padres Nuestros y a invocar el nombere de jesus ante la tentacion, la lastimadura y la muerte.
Nadie les ha preguntado por que enterraron las imagenes. Ellos esperaban que los nuevos dioses fecundaran las siembras de maiz, yuca, boniatos y frijoles.
El fuego agrega calor al calor humedo, pegajoso, anunciador de lluvia fuerte.

Inmigracion
Y despues de cuantas generaciones pasa un inmigrante intolerado a ser un inmigrante intolerante?
"It has long been a spirited topic of debate as to who got here first. The mosaic palate of peoples and cultures which represents today's America heightens the intensity of such a debate. Discoveries made by various anthropologists of human remains over the past few decades provide evidence that long before Ellis Island opened its doors to welcome those seeking political and religious freedom as well as the "adventurer, the wanderer, the persecuted, the fortune seekers, and others" America was a kaleidoscope of ethnic and cultural groups! Thus, the history of US immigration spans a long period of migration of many different peoples from various parts of the world. One common belief is that America was originally peopled by wanderers from Northeast Asia about 20,000 years ago. These wanderers were believed by some to be the founding population (and ancestors!) of today's Native Americans. Others believe that the first Americans came from Polynesia, South Asia or even Europe.
Even others believe that the very first Americans were killed by later arrivals and that they left no descendants.
The debate rages on! However, not to be lost in this debate is the fact that whether 20,000, 10,000 or 1,000 years ago, most immigrant groups to America came full of hopes and dreams of the "Promised Land". Around the year 1000, a small number of Vikings arrived. Five hundred years later, the great European migration began. In some cases, the co-existence of Europeans and Native Americans was peaceful. In other cases, there were cultural clashes, leading to violence and disease.
Many settlers from Europe and Asia came to seek their fortune in a new country which was thought to have unlimited resources. Many people from Africa, however, were bought here against their will to work as forced laborers in the building of a new nation. As early as 1619, slaves from Africa and the Caribbean were brought forcibly to America."
