Scholarship & press
the intendant Raudot issued an ordinance in 1709 that legalized slavery
All Panis and Negroes who have been purchased and who will be purchased, shall be the property of those who have purchased them and will be their slaves
Amongst colonists, however, their name rapidly became a generic way of referring to any Aboriginal slave.
