Because of the people in these comments, I will say this. Since the beginning, humanity has used similar boats, cooking techniques, etc. However, the ones described in the video are specific. Take for example the Bangka boat. It looks slightly similar to a canoe however, they have differences like any other. This video is merely pointing out Native American cultures that have become a very recognizable part of American culture today.

It was the Europeans lack of hygiene that kept them stuck in savagery for so many millennia's.

(Over 80 percent of the worlds food crops are indigenous to these lands) and settle down, we had aquifers that brought fresh water and a functioning sewer system that they took and brought over there.

that we're all just one people and we have to connect to our ancestors and our true people not where we currently are in society or the system. It's been a journey after my existential crisis almost a year ago back in January-Mayish and since I started seeking help I started learning more about Spirituality and how to heal and meditate. I've also done extensive research on the origins of religion, the universe and governments, and now after finally going through the seeking to prevent my younger cousin from facing the same intergenerational trauma that we've all faced and of course that blew up back at me and triggered painful memories... I then started to break down and try my best to explain the truth about the origins and secrets about Monotheistic religions like Catholicism and how they're indoctrinated into believing all of this when in reality is isn't all the truth and there's a lot about entheogens used in ancient times with religion to connect with higher beings that they have to learn about. I tried my best but they thought I was crazy. I was also angry at my mom because of the emotional neglect and things she did to me as a child and it just got out of hand. Now I'm at my dad's side of the family and I'm doing my best to learn more about our roots and how to go through the stages of Spirituality.

If they fished they were known as fishermen, if they lived near the mountains they were mountain dwellers etc. and if that changed they’d receive another name. now we have these labels enforced by government and education so we are forced to use them. If I speak kichwa amongst kichwa I can use our preferred term Runa but if they don’t speak kichwa or Runashimi I’m forced to use what they know, or else they say what the heck is a Runa.

Beyond just Taino culture Taino is more so the Caribbeans (West Indies/ West Indians) but it still plays a role tho, a major one because America and West Indies are actually connected. Places like Florida, Georgia, The Carolinas, Virginia, & Louisiana Are considered to be a part of the West Indies and the West Indies is a subregion of North America . All of the Caribbeans (greater and lesser Antilles) plus the Americas (south, central and north ) we are all considered to be American Indians . There’s way more influence than just from tainos because there’s over hundreds of thousands of tribes within the continent . The tainos/ lucayans are the ones who the colonizers encountered first in the Bahamas people like Hernando De Soto, Christopher Columbus, Giovanni De Verrazzano, Hernan Cortes, Fransisco Pizzaro, Vasco Da Gama Etc.. read into the written records of all those voyages to get a more proper perspective perspective on it . Many American Indians were shipped to the Caribbeans during the King Phillip’s War (1675-1676) against the English Colonial settlers . During the war, New England colonies routinely shipped American Indians as “slaves” (prisoners of war) to places like Barbados, Bermuda, Jamaica, The Azores, Spain, and even Liberia & North Africa (tangier).

Yeah that blanqueamiento that took place for us all confused on the Taino People. But most of them are in America

Taínos are extinct or very heavily mixed with African and Europeans just look at Haiti, Jamaica and puerto rico

[@lulu0724]

Jamaicans because of the many slaves brought to the island and Haitians because they are not tainos. They arrived on the island in 1696, 205 years after the few tainos integrated with the Iberian and first blacks in the trans-atlantic slave trade, creating the dominicans. Heck the dominicans were known by that demonym of dominicans over decades before haitians first stepped foot on the island. From who do you think Dessalines got the country name from

Love learning about cultures that were here before us, and glad to see someone using the word "colonizers" to describe those who were ACTUALLY colonizers. Not just using it as a synonym for "white".

[@uer-px1kd]

Bathing was pretty common with germanic tribes back in the Viking times so idk how u say the natives taught colonizers to bathe. It was common practice in europe, no?

[@ToKyoBraZilBoriCua77]

Maybe in Germany but the French and Spaniards were not known for bathing regularly even their royalty !

You hear the part she says my ancestors created? Or the part she says they used canoes to travel to other islands and train. Taínos are native indigenous to Puerto Rico and many other islands aswell as the Caribs which where indigenous to Cuba. You also have many tribes in South America like the Aztecs, Mayans, Mapuche, Tupi. You travel a bit up to Northern America and Canada and you’ll also find many famous tribes like Apache, Sioux, Cherokee, Chayenne, the Cree and Algonquin. My point here is that all these tribes are linked some way or another. Most people here in the comments may like to say that Canadians invented canoes and that Australians invented bbq. But reality is that it was all indigenous tribes no matter how you want slice it.

[@gannicusnobody7782]

Cubans are also Taino. The Caribs were to the east of the Tainos, not the west.
