In 1488 #Hautacuperche led a local #uprising against the #Spanish occupiers. The inhabitants of La #Gomera suffered from multiple oppressions by the Spanish occupier Hernan de Peraza. Hautacuperche is said to have killed Hernan de Perza in a cave. As a result, Pedro de Vera, the governor of Gran Canaria, issued an order to kill all men over the age of 15 who belonged to certain tribes. The women and children were to be enslaved. #islascanarias
