Oral history of Yateras Indians corroborates court records indicating that the Indian
caserios at Tiguabos and Palenque and Indian settlements in the San Andres valley
were dispossessed, farm by farm, during the nineteenth century.

Those Indian populations, many with the family names of Rojas and Ramirez, re-
settled in the more remote valley of Yateras and formed a community called Caridad
de los Indios. All along that valley of the Rio Toa and down to Baracoa and Yumuri,
and along the coast to Los Arados, in Punta Maisi, the families of Rojas and Ramirez,
as well as the Romeros, the Cobas, the Riveros, many of the Jimenez, Hernandez,
Veloz, and Cabrera, retain history, identity, and customs rooted in the Cuban Arawak
traditions, the old Taino homeland.
