As to Taino tribal lands in actually there are various number of Taino tribal groups on the island of Boriken that already own their own land bases. This group is only speaking for themselves as they do not have any real tribal land base as they are mainly based out of New York City USA.

The Taino American Indian name in the Taino language of our Caribbean island homeland of Puerto Rico that was originally called “Boriken” (Land of the Valeant and Noble Lord) and is incorrectly being called “Borinken”. This is a misspelling and corruption of our original island homeland's name as has been wrongfully mentioned here in this UCTP YouTube video.
