UPDATE

YOU ARE INVITED TO TAKE PART IN HELPING TO MAKE THE "LOST TAINO TRIBE" DOCUMENTARY ---- FOR MORE INFO GO TO WEBSITE BELOW:

www.losttainotribe.com


The "LOST TAINO TRIBE" documentary explores the facts, myths and the "truths" of the indigenous identity of Puerto Rico known as the Taino Indians. It is the universal story about identity and what it means today.

When Christopher Columbus arrived to the ..New World.. the first people he "discovered" were the Taino Indians. According to today's history books the Taino's have long since perished from the face of the earth due to disease, slavery, massacres, etc.

Today there are some who say they have heard of Tainos living in different parts of the world and there are those that claim to be Taino's themselves. There seems to be a resurgence of the Taino identity. What's that all about? Are they really out there or is it all myth?


El documental explora los hechos, los mitos y las "verdades" de la identidad indígena de Puerto Rico conocido como el Taino indios.

Cuándo Christopher Columbus llegó al.. Nuevo Mundo.. las primeras personas que él "descubrió" fueron el Taino indios. Según la historia actual reserva el Taino tiene mucho tiempo desde que perecido de la cara de la tierra debido a la enfermedad, la esclavitud, masacres, etc.

Hoy hay quienes dicen que ellos son Indios Tainos y reclama ser Taino sí mismos. Allí parezca ser un resurgimiento de la identidad de Taino. ¿Son ellos realmente allí, todavia exsisten Indios Tainos o es todo mito?

Es la historia universal acerca de la identidad y acerca de lo que significan hoy.

  • Why are people insisting that the Taino's are dead because there are no pure blood Taino's left and most of our culture was lost?

    The fact is our mothers were raped our fathers were killed and we were forced to assimilate Spanish customs. Then we were further exploited by the U.S. for sugar production, military support, strategic naval position etc.

  • in jamaica during colonization most of the tainos were killed .however we still incorperate their practices especially their food. in jamaica many inter-mixed with the africans, so unfortunately we do not have pure tainos. despite that, its apart of our culture that we love and embrace and the story of the arawak indians/ tainos are taught in school till this day. in jamaica we will never forget the arawaks.

  • @malave31 You're full of shit.  Where is this Taino reservation you speak of? And there are no more full-blooded Tainos, which makes them extinct!

  • @malave31 What does 100% puerto rican mean, considering the natives were the Tainos who are now extinct, and modern puerto rico is multi-racial and most puerto ricans are thoroughly mixed?

  • has kinky hair thats what i met

  • im haitian but my grandma lok like a mexican olive skin and lined up cheek bones weird right? but she haad kinky hair

  • Sebastian be educational in expressing yourself,this is wrong show proper communication,thank you.

  • All i hear is the Tainos, But what about the Caribes? who were fearsome people and even columbus fear them. The Caribes practiced cannibalism and use to hunt down the tainos. I would like to hear something about them.

  • For the love of god.....CAN YOU GUYS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT PUERTO RICANS ARE NOT THE ONLY TAINOS AROUND. THEY CAME FROM DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AS WELL. Christopher Columbus first invaded the land of Espanola, which is now called Dominican Republic.

  • AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET US FREE

  • @myangelc02 true people say, spanish, italian, french, wiped them out, they did but alot of the whites raped tainos women. people are misunderstanding our culture
