Although the Indian population was clearly destroyed as a continuing civilisation and culture, the record suggests that individual groups of surviving Indians may have 'disappeared' becaues it suited Cuban authorities, at certain moments in the island's history, to say that they had.

The Indian population in Cuba suffered significant decline, leading to the destruction of their civilization and culture. However, some Indigenous groups managed to survive despite this destruction. The historical record indicates that Cuban authorities often claimed these groups had disappeared, particularly when it served their political or social interests at different points in time.

This phenomenon highlights how narratives about the Indigenous populations were manipulated by those in power. Rather than fully acknowledging their existence and contributions, authorities sometimes chose to present a fabricated absence to further their own agendas, thus obscuring the true history of Indigenous peoples in Cuba.
