I just discovered that Edwidge Danticat wrote a children’s book that the life of Anacaona: Golden Flower as well as many Taino customs. 
The book is a tribute to the Haitian hero, who Edwidge grew up admiring.
Anacaona (date of birth unknown – died about 1504, Hispaniola), also called the Golden Flower, was a Taíno chief, sister of Behechio and wife of Caonabo,chief of a nearby territory, two of the five highest caciques (chiefs) who possessed the island of Hispaniola when the Spaniards settled there in 1492. She was celebrated as a composer of ballads and narrative poems, called areytos.

Danticat's "1937" has to be one story I will never forget.
I just took a class on Haitian history, learned about Anacaona. She was amazing! And I have read a few AMAZING book by Danticat, I want to read Breathe, Eyes, Memory.
