Take a walk on the wild side.

A strange and wonderful people in a strange and wonderful land. In 1726, a Virginian privateer was sunk in the Caribbean and its only survivor, a Polish-Virginian running form the law, washed ashore on an uninhabited island. At first, he dreamed of nothing other than returning to "civilization," but Fate had other plans. It put the Arawak Indians in his path who then, in time, became his chosen nation. Spanish chronicles record the presence of a white warrior among the Arawaks and the Arawaks still tell tales of their White Jaguar. This is his story.
