Dandara (full name in Portuguese: Dandara dos Palmares) (d. 1694 CE) was an Afro-Brazilian warrior of the colonial period of Brazil and was part of the Quilombo dos Palmares, a settlement of Afro-Brazilian people who freed themselves from enslavement, in the present-day state of Alagoas.[1][2] After being arrested on February 6, 1694, she committed suicide, refusing to return to a life of slavery. She is a mysterious figure today, because not much is known about her life. Most of the stories about her are varied and disconnected.[3] She and her husband Zumbi dos Palmares, the last king of the Quilombo dos Palmares, had three children.
