Tituba Life story
Tituba was a Native enslaved woman who was one of the first to be accused of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials of 1692–1693. Only after the 19th century was Tituba's origin changed from Native to "Caribbean." In all literature up to the 19th century, Tituba is described as an enslaved Native Woman.
