Agüeybaná II, Güeybaná, brother of Agüeybaná "The Great Sun"; led the Tainos of Puerto Rico in the Battle of Yagüecas against Juan Ponce de León and Spanish Conquistadors
Puerto Rico once had an equivalent to the Oscars which was awarded annually and was called the "Agüeybaná de Oro" (The Golden Agüeybaná), in honor of the great cacique.

Agüeybaná, the older, received Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León upon Ponce de León's arrival to Puerto Rico in 1508.
In 1511, Agueybana's brother Güeybaná, better known as Agüeybaná II (The Brave), discovered that the Spaniards were not "gods" and this encouraged the Cacique to rebel against the invaders.
