¿Quién salió con Laureano Tacuavé Martínez?

Laurent Vacouabé (born Laureano Tacuavé Martínez; July 14, 1809, in Paysandú, Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata – ? in Paris, France) was a young Native American from present day Uruguay. Son of Eustaquio Tacuavé and Francisca Martínez, younger brother of María Manuel Tacuavé (12 February 1805) and Apolinaria Tacuavé (23 July 1807). It is uncertain if he was Charrúa of Guaraní and Spaniard descent or if he was Guaraní of Spanish-Charrúan descent.

After the European conquest and colonization, the Charrúa population declined at the hands of local authorities, being practically exterminated in a massacre led by Bernabé Rivera on 11 April 1831.

Four surviving Charrúa were captured at Salsipuedes. These were Tacuabé; his partner María Micaela Guyunusa, daughter of María Rosa, born on 1806; Senaca o Senaqué, a 52- to 57-year-old medicine man and warrior; and Vaimaca-Piru (Perú), a 54-year-old warrior (cacique in charruan) and a general of Artigas. All four were taken to Paris, France by François Curel on November 11, 1833, where they were exhibited to the public as a circus attraction. Tacuabé had also a musical instrument.

Guyunusa and Vaimaca gave birth to a daughter few months after they were taken. Vaimaca, Senaque and Guyunusa died during the first year in France. Eventually they all died in France, including the baby. Tacuabe was baptised by the French as Jean Soulassol. It is also said that he and the child of his late wife, Micaela, escaped. In 2012 documents were found indicating that the child (Caroline Tacouabé) died of tuberculosis just like her mother, and that Laureano adopted the life of a Frenchman and probably died of sickness or old age.

In Montevideo, Uruguay there is a monument called The Last Charrúas, (Los Ultimos Charrúas in Spanish), depicting Tacuabé.

They were not the first to set sail to France: a young (said to be about 18 to 20 years old) "cacique" named by a traveling Spanish ship Lieutenant, Navio Louis Marius Barra as Ramón Mataojo, (being that the native was found in "el río Mataojo grande") had traveled to France in January 1832.

María Micaela Guyunusa (sur del Río Negro, costa del Río Uruguay, Banda Oriental, 28 de setiembre de 1806 - Lyon, Francia, 22 de julio de 1834) más conocida como Guyunusa, fue una mujer charrúa. Ella integró, junto a Laureano Tacuavé Martínez, Vaimaca Perú y Senaqué, el envío de indígenas de Uruguay para ser exhibidos y estudiados en un zoológico humano de París en 1833.​ El grupo es conocido en Uruguay como "los últimos charrúas". La historia de su desgracia, convertida en leyenda, simboliza la despótica intervención del primer gobierno nacional frente a la cultura indígena local y marca un hito en la Historia de Uruguay.​
