I had no idea! Avatar has always touched my soul and now I know it's representing my ancestors. Avatar 2 left me sobbing, especially with Neytiri's songcord.

[@CasaAreyto]

Yes, this movie touched me so much, too. I have not seen the second one yet, and I can't wait. 💜

[@The-KingsDaughter]

@@CasaAreyto It's really beautiful! I'm sure you'll love it as much as the first! ❤

[@JoeyBK_86]

Same here!!! I absolutely love the movies!!! I’m Puerto Rican 🇵🇷

I talk to the trees. When you come near them and talk, they express wind and movement. There are spiritual essence in them.

[@CasaAreyto]

Absolutely! They are truly powerful beings with a strong essence that you can't deny. 💜

I noticed that some of the weapons of the na'vi are similar to the yamassee tribe in the swamp and forests of the deep south eastern united states. They have stories of having similar weapons and potentially being afro indigenous cousins of tainos themselves as mixed yamassee made braids out of thin dreadlocks.

love this video so much thank you!!

[@CasaAreyto]

You're very welcome! I watched the second movie and loved it too. Jajóm (thank you) for your support. Bo-guatukán! (Many blessings!)

Great video! Not surprised the Taino were the inspiration for this movie.
( SIDE NOTE: I kinda headcanon Emily Windsnap being Taino 🧜🏾‍♀️. Because her dad somehow knew all about the hidden Bermuda Triangle island, and he is described with black hair and brown eyes🧜🏾‍♂️)

I knew from the very first film because of the face paint 🥹🥹

Taiguey. Groot de Guardianes de la galaxia, es una ceiba. Me encantan sus videos . Pero no encuentro videos para aprender la lengua taina en español. Gracias por su labor.

I feel the makers of the movie continue to exploit the culture without actually giving representation
