Anacaona was born in Yaguana (now Léogâne) the flourishing capital of Xaragua in 1474. –
 She and Yuisa (who was from Loiza which is now known as Puerto Rico) were the two only females Taino Caciques. She was a member of a family of chiefs including her brother Bohechío who was Chief of Xaragua. She was married to Caonabo who was chief of Maguana (in Dominican Rep.). He and her brother were among the top 5 caciques. Queen Anacaona was an adept ruler, warrior, and diplomat who at first had friendly relations with the Conquistadors. The relationship soured, they betrayed her and accused her husband of attacking a Spanish settlement in Northern Haiti then shipped him off to Spain (he died during the trip). Governor Nicola De Ovando felt threatened by Anacaona’s stance and as a result she died a gruesome death.
She has become one of the first Haitian heroes and is regarded as Haiti’s founder.

 Li menm ak Yuisa (ki moun ki te soti nan Loiza sa yo rele Puerto Rico jodi a) yo te de sèlman fanm ki te chèf Taino. Anacaona te manm nan yon fanmi chèf, frè li te réle Bohechío, li te Chèf Xaragua. Li te marye ak Caonabo ki te chèf nan Maguana (Repiblik Dominikèn jodi a.). Li menm ak frè li te nan mitan 5 premye kasik yo. Rèn la te yon chèf abil, yon sòlda vanyan, ak diplomat ki te gen bon relasyon ak konkeran Panyòl yo. Relasyon an te vinn gate, yo trayi li, yo akize mari li nan yon zafè atak yon koloni Panyòl nan Nò Ayiti. Pou tèt sa, yo déside aréte frè li pou yo voye’l ale Espay (li tou mouri nan vwayaj la). Gouvènè Nicola De Ovando te santi li menase devan Anacaona, kòm rezilta, li touye li yon fason vreman orib.
Li vin youn nan premye ewoyin ayisyen e li konsidere kòm fondatè peyi Ayiti.
