Guamá (died on June 6, 1533) was a Taíno rebel chief who led a rebellion against Spanish rule in Cuba in the 1530s.
Legend states that Guamá was first warned about the Spanish conquistador by Hatuey, a Taíno cacique from the island of Hispaniola.
[2] By 1530 Guamá had about fifty warriors and continued to recruit more pacified yndios.
Archaeologists and forensic pathologists believe that a body found in the Cuban mountains in February 2003 is indeed that of the legendary rebel chief Guamá.
[3] According to the testimony of a captive Indian taken by the Spanish during the rebellion, Guamá was murdered by his brother Oliguama, who buried an axe in his forehead while he slept, in 1533.
