    Tula our hero he was the lion, but the snakes killed him! He could have killed the captain of the ship that brought them to the Caribbean to be sold to the Dutch. But he did'nt and when the captain asked him why he left him alive he answered: I don't know how to navigate this ship back to Africa. Tula could write, that's why we know some things that had happen then. But most of the story we got from the snakes and they tell you a complete other story...

    👏👏👏
    I hope the schools on the island all bring their students to this museum for field trips. This should be taught proudly and not overlooked in schools.

    This video was very educational, some things about the history I didn.t know. I was born on the Island and I learned at school about Tula and Carpata. but I don't remember much about it. We never talked about it in my family. We grew up knowing only about our latino side then about our African or European side. My sister and I move to the Netherland when I was 23 and my sister 20 years old. I'm now 46 and only travelled 4 times back to the Island. It was recently that I wanted to know more about my roots. The only thing I knew was from fatherside they were Venezuelan and Antiqua and my mother side European and Curacao So I took a DNA test 29.4 Nigerian 23.7 Scandinavian 46.9 Meso America ( Venezuela, Colomboa, Peru, Guatemala). I never knew about the Scandinavian part. But back to the video i loved it, thank you so much.

      How was the film? Black film companies really need to start creating their own films. White film companies tend to want to insert a white hero somewhere in the depiction of events. A few years ago, a french depiction of the Haitian revolution had a plot where a white character arrived in Haiti from france bearing news of the french revolution and inspired the slaves to revolt! The british, once the biggest slave traders, tend to reduce slavery to a redemptive story with William Wilberforce as the central figure! No mention at all, of the Sam Sharpe inspired Baptist wars forcing their hands! What I have slowly began to realise is that all the slave colonies had one form of rebellion or the other, and you often have to really dig deep to discover them, Tacky in Jamaica, Bussa in Barbados, Gasper Yanga in Mexico, Benkos Biohó in Colombia, Carlota in Cuba and many more. They never feature in school curricula. And quite honestly you have to ask why not? Think about all the push back against CRT in the US so that white kids will not feel ashamed, then juxtapose that with curricula not teaching the true scale of slave rebellions and denying black kids pride.

      So important to get perspective and truth from the people who weren’t able to speak out in the past because of persecution and abuse of power.
      I hope this museum tour will inspire young authors, filmmakers artists, and others who are descended from the slaves to get real histories and stories out there (including Tula’s history). Even better if it’s part of school curriculum!

    The processing of the corn/grain with motar and pestle and the hand grinding stone are found everywhere in Africa. No self-respecting house wife was found without them. Peanut butter could also be processed by the hand grinding stone. Very comforting the unchanging nature of our traditions. That daughter owned the heritage and the enthusiasm and singing stirred ancient memories.

Hewing wood, tilling the land, chopping the wood, building and roofing the house, tending the crops, looking after the livestock, fencing the homestead, part time butcherman to provide the meat are the chores a self respecting husband is supposed to carry out. We can swap the chores if you like. I am actually partial to cooking, barbecuing and playing board games.

    This historical village is such a wonderful idea. I have had a dream to set up a place like this for the island of Jamaica. Unfortunately, I have been living in the US, since I was 12. I don't know why Jamaica does not have a historical post-slavery village? I think it would be so beneficial to school children. Too many of our leaders/elite class want to erase the struggles we endured during that time period and pretend it never happened.

    As onenborn here at curacao I must mention that:
    The white man did keep our history hidden by teach thehistory of the colonizers at school and the local teacher did never step against it.
    We learn about TULA mainly by radio and just part of it by some that speak about it at radio during the time of the commemoration Dat the 17 of August.
    The video made name TULA the revolt is made by a Dutch cineast so not to present the real history behind all the cruel things that did happen against them.. it was a fake history just to say I video was made... never forget that there was never a fair trail that could give them the chance to defend them self.
    Also the death sentence declare for them.alone.
    Many of our historian seams also afraid to say the true of the cruel and brutal way TULA and some of fighter was killed by the use of two animals that where one hands was tide to each animals that did pull there body aparte and also they cruch there head with a big abject and town there body in the sea leaving the head hanged in a wood stik..

    The pilon was a tool to hir and split the sorgum grain from then tapushi and after it they will go to clean the grain using the wind before grinding it..
