Guerrero had fired and reassigned several employees as he tried to restructure the Mexican postal system's airport office and make it harder to rob.

Gonzalo Guerrero had just taken up his accustomed position under the smacking sail of the foremast and leaned against the rail-when the deck abruptly swerved and seemed to reel under his feet.
Guerrero seemed to be watching himself with amazement when he caught up with the boy and bent over him, the rope pulled taut between his wrists.
Guerrero wondered if he really would lift the lad's head, as he was instructed, and with the three others balancing the thighs and chest, hurl the boy overboard.

One of the survivors, Gonzalo Guerrero, was saved from a life of servitude and possible human sacrifice through the intervention of the Maya noblewoman who is sometimes referred to as Princess Nicte-Ha (Water Lilly), and she is also known as Ixpilotzama.
Guerrero read Cortés's letter and reportedly responded, "Brother Aguilar, I am married and have three children and they consider me their chief and captain during times of war; go with God, for my face is tattooed and my ears are pierced.
The inscription on the plaque reads: "Gonzalo de Guerrero, of Palos de Noguera, Spain, seaman, who in 1511 shipwrecked near this beach, married the Mayan Princess Xzamil and thus founded the first Euro-American family." Another version of this statue is on the Prolongación Montejo in Merida.

 HISTORY OF MEXICO - JERONIMO DE AGUILAR: THE MAROONED PRIEST WHO SPEEDED THE CONQUEST - BY JIM TUCK IN MEXICO CONNECT
Where Guerrero took a Mayan wife who bore him two children, Aguilar remained true to his priestly vows and refused to form a romantic liaison with any of the attractive girls whom the chief placed at his disposal.
Since it was his boast that he lived 105 years without taking a bath, it is difficult to believe how the perfumed courtesans whose advances he allegedly rejected would ever have wished to make such advances in the first place.
Guerrero, completely Mayanized, refused to join his countrymen and was later killed while fighting on the side of the Indians against the Spaniards.

Guerrero, whose true name we don’t know, was enslaved by the Maya, bore children, went native, and refused to return to aid the conquest.
Guerrero assimilated the culture of his slave master wife and fathered mestizo children, probably before Cortes did.
But the possibility of Guerrero as a progenitor of la raza, preceding Cortes as Adam and displacing Malinche as Eve, is not pleasing according to imperialist, patriarchal aesthetics.

 Athena Review 2,1: Valdivia Shipwreck (1511)
Soon thereafter, however, Jeronimo de Aguilar, Gonzalo Guerrero, and a handful of other Spaniards managed to escape to the protection of a rival cacique, Aquincuz of Xamanzana, who took them in as slaves.
He had kept his Book of Hours (a medieval religious schedule still popular in the 16th century) with a running count of the days since his 1511 capture, and was only three days off at the time of his 1519 release.
As Díaz reports, Guerrero had married the daughter of the cacique Nachan Can from Chetumal and had risen to the rank of warrior and military advisor to his Mayan father-in-law.

Gonzalo Guerrero, a peasant, and Geranimo de Aguilar, an aristocrat, are the two who survive the initial night of sacrifices.
Aguilar becomes a servant to the Mayan ruler whereas Guerrero eventually marries a Mayan princess and becomes himself a Mayan lord – refusing to join Cortes when offered the opportunity because he has been so physically and morally transformed.
It is Gonzalo Guerrero’s search for himself and his final speculation that ‘we are all really Mayan, siding more with the spectacle of cruelty and suffering than with the love and peace we pretend to espouse’ which centers the novel’s unsettling theme.

This "La Raza Day" we should imitate Gonzalo Guerrero, the Roman Catholic Spaniard soldier who got tired of Indian massacres and in 1511 turned his back on Europeans.
Gonzalo Guerrero married a Maya Indian, procreated three children, and in 1519 when Mexican invader Hernan Cortes asked Gonzalo to re-join the Spaniards he didn't.
Gonzalo, the Father of Mestizo people, wore scanty Mayan clothes, he decorated his body, pierced his nostrils, lips and ears, painted his face, and tattooed his hands after Mayan fashion, but there was a price to be paid for listening to the Mayan's cry: he was killed in the battle field in 1536.

I have always been fascinated with the Mayans, and for our honeymoon, Valerie (saintly-patient beautiful wife) and I went down to the Mayan Riviera.
I love the area, the people we met were great (with the exception of the time-share goons), and the culture is amazing.
I once came across the story of Gonzalo and thought I'd love to write the fictionalization of his story - and of course, we would have to return to the area so I could do exhaustive, time-consuming (maybe months!) 'research'...
