In 1528, a Spanish fleet led by Panfilo de Narvaez landed in Florida seeking gold. The expedition faced harsh conditions, hostile tribes, and dwindling supplies. Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, one of the survivors, documented their journey across the Gulf of Mexico, their survival on Galveston Island, and their interactions with native tribes. After years of hardship, Cabeza de Vaca returned to Spanish society, advocating for benevolent rule in the Americas. The video explores the impact of the Spanish conquest and the evolving understanding of human rights.
