[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] Why did lioness bother creating another thread on this topic?? Oh yeah [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=008901;p=1]that's right.[/URL] [QUOTE][qb]Originally posted by Tukuler: [/qb] Is this actually an indigenous Canary Islander? [IMG]http://static.flickr.com/55/185902095_2d79590220.jpg[/IMG] George Glas' 1764 translation of an older Spanish document says [b]they were darker than people of southern Spain and their hair was black and bushy. I use Canarians instead of Guanches because only the people of northern Tenerife are the Guanches and only this small subset were light in colour.[/b] [list] [*][IMG]http://ia700209.us.archive.org/BookReader/BookReaderImages.php?zip=/14/items/historyofdiscove00abre/historyofdiscove00abre_jp2.zip&file=historyofdiscove00abre_jp2/historyofdiscove00abre_0307.jp2&scale=4&rotate=0[/IMG] [IMG]http://ia700209.us.archive.org/BookReader/BookReaderImages.php?zip=/14/items/historyofdiscove00abre/historyofdiscove00abre_jp2.zip&file=historyofdiscove00abre_jp2/historyofdiscove00abre_0308.jp2&scale=4&rotate=0[/IMG] [b] Juan de Abreu de Galindo[/b], trans George Glas[i] The History of the Discovery and Conquest of the Canary Islands[/i] Palmas, 1632 London, 1764 pp.281-282 [/list] Guanches are a small minority of the Canarians. They only inhabited the north of Tenerife. Besides the north part of Tenerife we have to consider the central and south parts of Tenerife along with the great bulk of the Canary Islands: 2 - Alegranza 3 - El Hierro 4 - Fuerteventura 5 - Gran Canaria 6 - Isla de Lobos 7 - La Gomera 8 - Lanzarote 9 - La Graciosa 10 - La Palma 11 - Montaña Clara 12 - Roque del Este 13 - Roque del Oeste. We have seen them documented as darker skinned than southern Spaniards and having bushy hair black in color. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE][qb]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [/qb] There was a black population on the Canary Islands prior to the slave trade and European Invasions... Mathilda won't talk about this will she?? [i]Pope Eugene IV [b]Against the Enslaving of Black Natives from the Canary Islands[/b] January 13, [b]1435[/b][/i] http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Eugene04/eugene04sicut.htm [i]Some six decades before Columbus set out for the new world, [b]Pope Eugene IV condemned the enslavement of black natives from the Canary Islands[/b]. This 1435 papal command demanded the European slave-masters to release them within 15 days or face the weight of excommunication from the Church. [/i] http://fatherjoe.wordpress.com/instructions/other/catholicism-the-black-experience/ [b]1402[/b] [i][b]Juan de Bethencourt became the first European to settle in the Canary Islands and made slaves of several natives heralding the beginning of the black slave trade.[/b] At this time slavery had been practically eliminated in Europe, thanks to the influence of the Church. The Holy Roman Church later would not only condone and support slavery even of those baptized into the Roman Catholic Church but also would hold their own slaves. Europe, led by Spain, would begin over four centuries of slave trading that included some twenty million Africans alone, of which half died in transit. Jewish children deported from Portugal during the Inquisition settle Sao Tome e Principe, two islands 320 kilometers west of Gabon. It then became a transit point for the slave trade. Pope John Paul II (1978 - ) in 1992 deplored the Roman Catholic Church's condoning of that sad offense to human dignity.[/i] [/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
