Question
A leader of these people legendarily refused to convert to Christianity before being burned at the stake because it would mean sharing heaven with European colonizers. These people built their settlements around plazas called bateys (bah-TAY) that was the site of a ball game and a judicial ceremony called a batu. Atabey was the ancestral mother of these people, who worshiped ancestral spirits called zemis. Anacaona (aa-nah-KAH-no-ah) was a queen of these people, and Lake Jaragua (hah-RAH-gwah) was renamed after her nephew Enriquillo after one rebellion. These people were ruled by caciques (kah-SEE-kayz) like Hatuey. The Lucayans were a branch of these people, who were frequently raided by the Caribs. For 10 points, name these people whose population dropped by up to 90% after they became the first natives of the Carribean to meet Christopher Columbus. ■END■
