  • most indians left in the US are not pure blood. yet they have rescued their culture and the respect. , any "fractiion" taino gets no respect from anyone. because they never got respect in teh first place. and many ignore the fact that, in the mountains of PR, the mitochondrial DNA Haplogroup C (taino) in the population was 70-80% of the civilians. That tells you that what we have been told is not all true.

  • Spaniards took Taino women and forced them into becoming their lovers and concubines and the race was mixed. Men were all killed and many males children might had survived. There is no 100% pure Taino blood in Puerto Rico, simply some resemblance amongst few people of how that race might have looked like. In South America the Indian race is still pure and is very similar to what the Taino looked back then.

  • when i met her the first thing i asked her what nation she's from!

  • i know a porto rican lady and she looks like a native person and the natives from the us. even can see that she is taino native, so they do exist, she looks flat out native no doubt about that

  • los tainos eran muy pero muy hemosos

  • @sciarock : Por curiocidad sabes el nombre original?

  • @sciarock no puedes creer todo lo que te dicen solo porque te lo dicen.. tienes que leer estudiar y averiguar antes de hablar con autoridad.... de veras que es la primera vez que oigo algo como lo que dices y voy a tratar de averiguar si es verdad.. no soy experto en el idioma taino pero no ceo que lo que dijistes sea verdad

  • @anmiroji eso es verdad y creeme muy sorprendido estuve platicando con el se~nor de utuado que me estaba hablando de las tradiciones nativas y entonces le digo que orgulloso debes de estar que aun hoy dia sigues la tradicion Taino y hay fue que me explico y me dijo que sus ancestros nos les gustaba que les dijeran asi es como la palabra nigger que se usaba para los negros esclavos y mira hoy dia escuchas la palabra todos los dias y se llaman nigger como si nada..

  • @sciarock Pues hay otras personas que dicen que tiene otro significado... y son mas las personas que corroboran esa version que tu version.

  • @anmiroji no lo lei simplemente que toda mi vida me a gustado aprender sobre mi cultura y hace cuatro anos que vivo en puerto rico y e conoci par de gente ya que me lo informaron hasta un descendiente que conoci personalmente in utuado que me lo informo
