Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca was a Spanish explorer who lived countless adventures in the New World. One of four survivors of the 1527 Narváez expedition, for 10 years he crossed -afoot- from Florida to New Mexico with nothing but the few clothes on his back, a small group of companions and a few goods he traded with indigenous tribes for food and protection. During these years, Cabeza de Vaca gained a reputation as a healer, earned the trust of native peoples, acted as mediator in tribal conflicts and learned how to communicate in different native languages.
