Tula (died 3 October 1795), also known as Tula Rigaud, was an African man enslaved on the island of Curaçao, in the Dutch West Indies, who liberated himself and led the Curaçao Slave Revolt of 1795.

[4] On August 17, 1795, Tula refused to go to work, and along with about forty to fifty fellow slaves, he went to his owner Caspar Lodewijk Van Uytrecht to plead for their freedom, to which they believed they were entitled.

Out of force majeure, Van Uytrecht referred him to the governor in Willemstad to tell his story to him; the group under Tula's leadership left.

[5] The Colonial Council tried to counter the rebellion and return the slaves to their plantations by negotiating.

These documents are at the National Archives of the Netherlands including the record of the capture, interrogation and torture and sentencing (execution).
