abstract
  • Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca (ca. 1488/1490–ca. 1558) was a Spanish explorer of the New World. He is remembered as a proto-anthropologist for his detailed accounts of the many tribes of Native Americans. He is also remembered as one of four survivors of the Pánfilo de Narváez expedition to Florida in 1527. After surviving that trek, Cabeza de Vaca returned to Spain and wrote an account of his travels, first published in 1542 as La Relación (The Report), and later known as Naufragios (Shipwrecks). He was appointed governor of New Andalusis in 1540, and held the position until 1544. Cabeza de Vaca was unusually sympathetic to the native people, and soon lost support among the ruling class and was sent back to Spain. He died a poor man around 1558.
