Original Coiba

[edit]

The original Coiba, including the cacique and people encountered by Balboa, was almost certainly not on the present-day island. See, inter alia, this map, the account in the book it comes from, and Peter Martyr d'Anghiera's Decades in the New World. All place the Coiba on the mainland on the other end of Panama. No idea how the name got associated with the island.  LlywelynII 04:05, 4 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Furthermore, "Cacique" wasn't the name of any tribe or group of indigenous people. It was the Taino term for a leader, which then the Spanish used for any indigenous leader. References to "the cacique" wasn't to the people, but to the leader of the people, namely a fellow named Careta. 24.17.102.19 (talk) 22:35, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
