We count as brothers and sisters? I have been meaning to cosplay Moana since the movie came out. I never saw another fictional character who looked like me before. Even the same short stature, strong, muscular build and 25-28 inch long curly/wavy brown/black hair, high cheekbones, button nose. I never felt like I could identify with another Disney character before. No one else seemed to fit.
I’m Haitian and even though us Haitians on average have trace amounts to no Taino blood,their memory lives in our county’s name(Ayiti means mountainous land in Taino),language(some of our words are Taino) and food.
Arawak Indian, then Tainos, Then the Malian African also known as Al Caribe, those sent from Mansa Musa the 2nd, not Mansa Musa the first and not Mansa Musa the 3rd. MANSA meaning Emperor. Those Caribe came before Columbus or Christobal Colon, and they explored the entire Caribbean on the Musas second voyage he never went back. He returned home to tell the location. A new Mansa was given his Kingdom thats the story, that's what the Malian history books have pre Slave trade.
@XYU this! I'm definitely pro black or an oppressed peoples but it is a false statement and information that African people were in the Americas pre Columbus there is not a shred of evidence to support this. Nothing has been found to concretely say this is true. Its black people trying to insert themselves in other peoples origin stories to empower themselves which I'm 100% for black ppl rising up and empowering themselves but you can't just go around robbing people of their history and their stories it's super fucked up and is assimilation and erasure just like white people have been doing to all of us
@@javi8905 It's funny because I'm a so called black person in america and I do not subscribe to being indigenous to this land, a lot of my brothers and sisters do but I dont , I was brought here on slave ships from west Africa however, We must tell the truth because the white man have lied to the world for centuries that has everyone confused. Its for a fact that Black ppl 'Africans" is GOD First PEOPLE..Black people were the first map navigators who discover new land..Black people are Indigenous to every land in the world because we were here first facts..We're not inserting ourselves in anyone story because it wouldn't have a story if it wasn't for us because all HUMANS come from BLACK PEOPLE! We're the Father and Mother of ALL PEOPLE.. We're indigenous to all lands in the world so you wouldn't have no history if it wasn't for us because you wouldn't exist if it wasn't for us being here first..so lets keep everything in its right context brothers and sisters!! The Truth Shall Set You FREE thank you!
In the Caribbean, you really had 3 kinds of people melting together: The Native Americans, White Europeans, and Black Africans. In the United States, you have lots of people literally from ALL OVER the world.
@@Ispeakthetruthify That is true in the sense of who has been here (The Caribbean) longest. However, the same can be said for America, with native persons first, then European Whites who eventually brought Africans. Other ethnicities are rather recent additions, such as different Asian ethnicities, as within sometime of the last hundred years they now have a significant percentile. Here in the Caribbean, we have Generations of Ethnic Han Chinese and East Indians who came here as indentured labourers, coupled with many immigrants from the contemporary Middle East, Europe, Africa, South America (Places there like where I'm from such as Guyana, Venezuela and Suriname are considered part of the Caribbean , with Suriname especially having a large Javanese population), and our lovely Neighbours to the north America and Canada moving here as well. So while you probably would be hard pressed to find someone from literally every culture as readily as you could in America, For a region with not that much GeoEconomic pull I think we're about as good as a melting pot as we could ever be (which in my opinion is pretty good).
Just like the english did in north America, but english were way worse, they litterally slaughtered the natives that's why they were practically extinct there, at least the spanis weren't intentional, it was diseases.
@@nerdlarge4691 its the truth you moron. The whole economy of the spanish colonization was based on enslavement of the natives. They did not want them dead. Its the americans who killed the most natives and that is a fact.
@So Who's the Dummy Now? This is all true. But no others have matched the brutality and inhumanity of the evils associated with the colonialism practiced by Western European powers, from the genocide of Native Americans to the slave trade to the genocide of Aboriginal Australians and beyond. And one cannot be racist against white people, since they have the power and historically have been the oppressors. Hell, I'm "white" myself and my parents immigrated from the birth country of Hitler.
So Who's the Dummy Now? I am half white and half peurto Rican. I love both sides of me. Being half white (English,Irish, Welsh) on my dads side make me very appreciative and also protective of the white mans history. Whites are by far not the only group that was enslaving or plundering or anything like that. Like you said every group was doing it. Most still do it today, EXCEPT for the white man!!!! So thank you and keep on preaching. Just because I look brown doesn’t mean I am fully thankful and glad the white man exists. And I am not at all bitter about things in the past.
Tim Salter Sorry, not true. Whites if anything have been equal to the brutality of others. Not the worst. I’m white and Puerto Rican. I have deep white roots in this country. And my mother was born in peurto rico. don’t speak for everyone of indigenous heritage. I’m not at all bitter or angry against whites, because I know my white ancestors are not the worst of all humanity and should not be blamed for all the ills of the world now or in the past. It’s just racist to ignorantly blame all things and the worst crimes of humanity on the one race that was doing the SAME things everything else was doing. And we weren’t the WORST at it as you claim. If anything the Muslims and Arabs of the world were the worst and quite frankly still are.
@@jitaamesuluma9730 the slave trade was taughtt to us backwards. If we are mixed is not by much. the amount of slaves they claim to have been brought to America doesn't make any sense. you can't find no records of your ancestors stating they came from Africa but instead it would say negro Indian, negro , mullato, black or African American. so all these classifications is clearly showing me that the European man is trying to hide our identity. Genealogy is key peace.
@Billy McBecky this is true for practically all peoples of this planet! let them play around with racism and anti-racism, with dna and gene pools: we just have to get used to the fact that was stated so rightly above, regarding the spanish and their mixture! don´t take it too serious, this whole race and tribe game, what really matters is peace on earth (which begins with everybody in themselves).

Dominicans love to embrace their Taino ancestry and will showcase all of the Taino cave paintings and remnants. This is great, however, I would love for there to also be this kind of appreciation towards the African ancestry.
It was absorbed, but colonialism made way for afrikan culture to be more prominent than native american culture. So theres the colonial assimilation culture, and theres the rebellious amerindian mestizo culture. All over the americas.
IMO, Dominicans like most other folks in the Western Hemisphere (and the world, though perhaps less so). simply suffer from the still very alive legacy of white supremacy mentality. One tenant of which is - dark is bad, light is good. That Dominicans seem to have a bigger dose of this psychotic self hate is probably connected to the fact that they share their rock with Haiti. And everyone knows the rest.

I'm from the island of ST Vincent and the Grenadines 🇻🇨, there's still Kalinago(carib) people on the island to the nothwest Windward side. There's 70 pure breeds and hundreds of ones that are mixed with Africans. There's also around 3000+ Garifuna people still remaining. There were about 40 of them remaining on the island after the 5000 Garifuna(black caribs) were sent to balliceaux. They've slowly built themselves back up, the descendants living in central America are closer to the culture because those that remained on the island had to adjust to british rule so alot of their cultural identity was lost over generations. The Garifuna(black caribs) people's story is an incredible story, I would suggest if you haven't already heard about it then look up the Carib wars. They were the only free black skinned people in the 1700 and had the mighty British signing peace treaty deals in 1773 with a black skinned man while all other Caribbean countries were under European control. Their paramount chief Joseph Chatoyer was a man respected by the French and British at the height of their powers because of how formidable an opp he was. 😅

Your videos have more history than the entire American education system. Love your videos, hope you’ll come out with textbooks. Thanks for spreading information and knowledge
Every country teaches history relative to its geography and cultural history. Jamaicans for example will know a lot of this information, but hardly anything about the Gettysburg Address. But you can step out of that history bubble by buying books, or watching Masaman I suppose.
@@JamesWhite-fz3et There's some nuance in that. You can explore history at different levels. For example I learned global history in high school, so I have an idea of major global events throughout history, and how countries like India, China and Japan came about, even though I've never visited them. But if you had asked me who are the orang asli of Malaysia, or who was the king of Malaysia in 1850, I'd have no idea. The answers to those are local history, something I wouldn't know, but Malaysians definitely would. Btw, what country did you grow up in?
Yeah your not gonna learn anything about Africa in the American Education system. I'm from Detroit 86% black city and we had African American history month. I went to Arizona for school and got that hot culture shock. not sure about now but back in 2005 they didn't do Black history month. Even then we weren't taught much about African Empires and Pre colonial Africa which is dope. I love African history. being in America they don't want us to know anything good about Africa. No difference than only negative things being aired about Detroit.
In my native Dominican Republic, we even use Taino, words in our everyday, language, like, Guacara(cave) Hicotea( water turtle) Guaraguao( hawk) Sigua(small bird) Bohio( a small hut) Ciguapa, Lots of people in the Dominican Republic even have Taino names, Like Guarionex, Hatuey, Jimaquem, Anacanona, Caonabo, Guaricoa, Higuemota.....lots of our provinces and territories inside the Dominican Republic have tainos names also like Higuey, Macorix, Jaragua, Cibao. And about 80 percent of the Population has Taino DNA.

@Right Wing Nuclear Armed Aussie It is Not the Crimes committed Five Hundred years ago. It's the denial of those Crimes now. It is the denial of Equal rights to communities that suffered then, and have suffered prejudice to this very day. It is the Arrogance of people claiming to be "Civilized" committing mass killings, arguing " it is Manifest Destiny". You Don't have to personally compensate anyone. All you have to do is share equitably the wealth of the land you now exploit.
@Right Wing Nuclear Armed Aussie Are you sure the figure is not closer to 30 billion ? Regardless, that is a drop in the ocean of an economy of 1.4 Trillion. In every measurement, Aboriginal communities are disadvantaged. Health, Life expectancy, Education, Housing, Employment, Prison rates. Compared to the rest of the population. As well as the Stolen Generation debacle. This is NOT unique to Australia, In fact, most nation states have this Grim History. (and some even worst) So, it suggests this "Assistance" is inadequate for the people you say you want to Help.
@Toney Gordon I'm Jamaican had my DNA tested through both 23& me and ancestry , my results were 8% & 9% Taino respectively. I'm from Santa Cruz St. Elizabeth Jamaica which has the highest concentration of Taino DNA in it's population. Also, the Maroons having been the formerly enslaved Africans under Spanish Jamaica. You must be one of those Jamaicans who got infected with the African American victimhood mentality.
Lioness Ma my grand father is taino pure breed descent come from the man not the women you are mix heritage but to descendant it must come from the father
My only intention was to prove that you are not alone (to those who make claims that the Arawak weren't present) in your Taino bloodline. My descent is through Matrilineal line is all.
Lioness Ma it is the male genes that determine the the heritage or tribal clan and descent or by inheriting the father’s last name. This is how it was in biblical times and how they determine who was a Israelite and Jacob being the forefather of them. Even up to this day the Arab countries do the same thing your mother could be African and your father a arab you are regarded as a arab because it is the male genes that determine the gender of the child thus taking on the father’s bloodline and nationality aka tribal family
I've actually been to Dominica and been to the Carib Reserve. That's in addition to the boiling lake, valley of desolation, Trafalgar falls, etc. Beautiful beautiful island !!!!
Well. I'm from PR. I grew up in the city of San Juan. I've learned in the Public School that the Tainos (Native Caribbean/Arawak) were killed. But Some of them scape and hide in the mountain. They are still alive. And we, the ones who didn't know because the government/school system kept us ignorant. We are learning more, we have in our heart that we are Arawak, we need to connect with nature, to our people and love. We need to learn more from our ancestors and share it with our children and the world.
The Caribbean was culturally part of South America, though it is associated with North America today. It was settled by island hoppers south to north, with smaller islands in the south like a reverse funnel towards the larger islands in the north.
Hi, Jamaican here. I dont see how we or Any of the Anlgo Caribbean is culturally related to South America. We do not speak Spanish,French or Purtuguese. Only English.
According to a MyHeritage DNA test, I am 26.8% Mesoamerican and Andean, which should be the origins of the Taino. Being a Puerto Rican, I also have 29.5% Iberian DNA (Coastline of Spain and Portugal), 20.2% African, and some minor other stuff. I have known of Taino's being the natives on PR before Columbus landed, but I did not know that they inhabited all of the islands that they did. Much love to my fellow Taino family in all of the Caribbean. Stay united, regardless of what country you come from!

Indi-genous literally means indi/indie/indian "genes/genetic/generation". When Christopher Columbus came to the Caribbean he thought he was in INDIA becaus the people loved india or east African. He described most of the natives as dark skined. The American was a mix of east African, Indians, and east Asian origins.

@Dashing TIM I know what you're talking about unfortunately, but I think it's good more mestizos are embracing their native american heritage. Many mestizos are of mainly native american descent anyway. Maybe they're coming to a realisation about who they really are and where they've actually come from, and won't look down on their fellow native americans anymore. Hopefully.
I was born in Trinidad. On my maternal side my granfather's father is Venezuelan 🇻🇪 and is mother Dominica 🇩🇲. I did my dna and it came up with indigenous dna from South America.

His mother's name was Antonia. So when I did my dna it showed that we have South America indigenous dna on my father's side.

the Taíno prided themselves on their well-organized, self-sufficient, and religiously centered society. Equally renowned for their beautiful artwork, naturally-produced medicines, and innovative sporting activities, the Taíno, unsurprisingly, filled the 15th-century Spanish colonialists with admiration. Their unique culture is still highly regarded today, most prominently in the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC with the conservation of former Taíno tribal villages and the celebration of numerous traditional Taíno festivals. In the Taíno’s pre-Colombian rural society, hierarchy and religion were inextricably linked. Divided into two classes known as naborias (commoners) and nitaínos (nobles), the Taíno were governed by a cacique or chief, who, with the help of a bohique, a priest or healer, would lead the village in music and dance orientated religious ceremonies and acted as a mouthpiece between spirits and mortals. As for the ideology of the Taíno religion, the Native Americans believed in multiple deities, all referred to as zemis, and in the existence of an afterlife in which, depending on their virtuous or depraved actions on earth and whether they worshipped the Zemi or not, they would spend an eternity in a paradisiacal heaven or an agonizing hell.

As someone from Trinidad, I have never met a native of the island personally, however the leader of the remaining native tribe is a person of mixed ethnicity with east indian heritage. So more than likely the few remaining natives began mixing with the Slaves and Indentured Labourers until they basically became unrecognizable.
Trini as well and have met only one native person and is also mixed Indian and Arawak. Could be that I'm just living in town and not seeing otherwise but
Masaman, You provide A LOT of information very fast. I think you’re proud of the speed at which you can deliver it. And it’s wonderful, interesting stuff to learn. Most people, though, can’t retain without pauses, without a rhythm that includes time to think. I want to listen to more, but get frustrated just a little bit into a video.
Shout out to sweet Trinidad 🥰🇹🇹 My Indian grandad is from Trinidad he’s genetically: half Indian from Calcutta (when East indentured labourers came to the Caribbean) and his other half is CARIB Indian. I grew up knowing my Carib Indian great grandma, (she was not born in Trinidad but immigrated there and met my Asian India great grandfather). She was an AMAZING woman who I loved dearly...her son (my grandad) taught me so much about my Indian: Carib and Calcutta heritage. My granddad went on to marry a black woman who was also amazing 💓 Like millions in the region, I am a child of the world: born in England with a white English mummy and a mixed race black and Indian daddy 🇹🇹 🇬🇧

I’m Puerto Rican. My genetic breakdown based on several dna tests is 40% Italian, 30% Spanish, 15% black, 15% native. My family on both sides go back to at least the 1700s.
My Dad was American with an English/ Northern European background who came to the States in the late 1700s. My mother was Cuban from an old Spanish family who colonized Cuba back in the 1500s. My DNA revealed I was 3% Taino 47% Spanish, & 50% Northern European. Totally different cultures. Proud of both my families. Glad I got to live in Cuba for a while when I was young and revisit for summers till I was 13 (1959). Really enjoyed this presentation.

@@Ratsonfire. I'm not an expert in this topic. I'm still gradually learning as I find more credible Caribbean history information.

Hi all I am from Puertorican descendants and my great grandfather was from the Taino people. Having my DNA done it came out that I have 14% indigenous from PR and of the other percentages from South America. The most percentage is from Portugal and Spain, not even saying from other regions. I always had a closeness with Native Indian and now knowing why it is great! I am doing my family tree and studying my genealogy especially my Native part. This video was very interesting and well put.
Thank you for your effort to shed light on the Taino/Arawak subject. As a child in Puerto Rico, I was taught that the Taino were extinct. Well, today I have mtDNA evidence that says different! We still live. Taino Daka!

Wow one city. Meanwhile the rest of the Puerto Ricans belittle darker complexions and are prejudice towards the darker Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and Haitians on the Island. Always making jokes and making fun of the hair and African features. The entire island should embrace the African culture every single day like the rest of the Caribbean, not just "one town" or when its beneficial. Even though Boricuas tend to look more Eurocentric you are still Black as well even if its a smaller percentage. Yet people there do not like to embrace it. I've lived in PR so i know what I'm talking about.

@darkeagle No. Garifuna people or Black Caribs are a mixed people of both African and Kalinago/Carib, and some Arawak aboriginal descent. It is more correct to say that the majority, while acknowledging the Aboriginal contribution, primarily self identify as black.

When it comes to the Taino natives, they tended to be friendly. They were a branch of the greater Arawak family of natives. The Arawaks, which break up into many native groups, spread from Central America to South America. One group that migrated to what is today Venezuela then went north to populate many of the Caribbean islands. These became the Taino. Another branch of the greater Arawak family of natives were the Chanés, they also tended to be friendly. However, they ended up living in northern Argentina. The following shows the Chanés natives do a Pim Pim (dance). They borrowed the Pim Pim from the more aggressive Guarani natives who tended to subjugate them. The Guarani are not part of the Arawak family of natives. Taino so anyone with some Taino, meet your distant cousins the Chanés - Video - ua-cam.com/video/MHqM5Evqz0ct/v-deo.htmlhe

@@deeelle697 Yes...because the United States is the ONLY place in the world with racism.
@@Ispeakthetruthify That is true in the sense of who has been here (The Caribbean) longest. However, the same can be said for America, with native persons first, then European Whites who eventually brought Africans. Other ethnicities are rather recent additions, such as different Asian ethnicities, as within sometime of the last hundred years they now have a significant percentile. Here in the Caribbean, we have Generations of Ethnic Han Chinese and East Indians who came here as indentured labourers, coupled with many immigrants from the contemporary Middle East, Europe, Africa, South America (Places there like where I'm from such as Guyana, Venezuela and Suriname are considered part of the Caribbean , with Suriname especially having a large Javanese population), and our lovely Neighbours to the north America and Canada moving here as well. So while you probably would be hard pressed to find someone from literally every culture as readily as you could in America, For a region with not that much GeoEconomic pull I think we're about as good as a melting pot as we could ever be (which in my opinion is pretty good).

@So Who's the Dummy Now? This is all true. But no others have matched the brutality and inhumanity of the evils associated with the colonialism practiced by Western European powers, from the genocide of Native Americans to the slave trade to the genocide of Aboriginal Australians and beyond. And one cannot be racist against white people, since they have the power and historically have been the oppressors. Hell, I'm "white" myself and my parents immigrated from the birth country of Hitler.
So Who's the Dummy Now? I am half white and half peurto Rican. I love both sides of me. Being half white (English,Irish, Welsh) on my dads side make me very appreciative and also protective of the white mans history. Whites are by far not the only group that was enslaving or plundering or anything like that. Like you said every group was doing it. Most still do it today, EXCEPT for the white man!!!! So thank you and keep on preaching. Just because I look brown doesn’t mean I am fully thankful and glad the white man exists. And I am not at all bitter about things in the past.
Tim Salter Sorry, not true. Whites if anything have been equal to the brutality of others. Not the worst. I’m white and Puerto Rican. I have deep white roots in this country. And my mother was born in peurto rico. don’t speak for everyone of indigenous heritage. I’m not at all bitter or angry against whites, because I know my white ancestors are not the worst of all humanity and should not be blamed for all the ills of the world now or in the past. It’s just racist to ignorantly blame all things and the worst crimes of humanity on the one race that was doing the SAME things everything else was doing. And we weren’t the WORST at it as you claim. If anything the Muslims and Arabs of the world were the worst and quite frankly still are.
Ok iron maiden
Tainos never died history lied. we are still there ......
yes you are , just now you are mixed , mostly
@@jitaamesuluma9730 the slave trade was taughtt to us backwards. If we are mixed is not by much. the amount of slaves they claim to have been brought to America doesn't make any sense. you can't find no records of your ancestors stating they came from Africa but instead it would say negro Indian, negro , mullato, black or African American. so all these classifications is clearly showing me that the European man is trying to hide our identity. Genealogy is key peace.
@Billy McBecky lol
@Billy McBecky this is true for practically all peoples of this planet! let them play around with racism and anti-racism, with dna and gene pools: we just have to get used to the fact that was stated so rightly above, regarding the spanish and their mixture!

I'm from the island of ST Vincent and the Grenadines 🇻🇨, there's still Kalinago(carib) people on the island to the nothwest Windward side. There's 70 pure breeds and hundreds of ones that are mixed with Africans. There's also around 3000+ Garifuna people still remaining. There were about 40 of them remaining on the island after the 5000 Garifuna(black caribs) were sent to balliceaux. They've slowly built themselves back up, the descendants living in central America are closer to the culture because those that remained on the island had to adjust to british rule so alot of their cultural identity was lost over generations. The Garifuna(black caribs) people's story is an incredible story, I would suggest if you haven't already heard about it then look up the Carib wars. They were the only free black skinned people in the 1700 and had the mighty British signing peace treaty deals in 1773 with a black skinned man while all other Caribbean countries were under European control. Their paramount chief Joseph Chatoyer was a man respected by the French and British at the height of their powers because of how formidable an opp he was. 😅
They are still alive in Puerto Rico Cuba and Jamaica.

Your videos have more history than the entire American education system. Love your videos, hope you’ll come out with textbooks. Thanks for spreading information and knowledge
Every country teaches history relative to its geography and cultural history. Jamaicans for example will know a lot of this information, but hardly anything about the Gettysburg Address.
But you can step out of that history bubble by buying books, or watching Masaman I suppose.
for me growing up I was taught American, Caribbean, Central America, South American and African History equally by my teachers
@@JamesWhite-fz3et There's some nuance in that. You can explore history at different levels. For example I learned global history in high school, so I have an idea of major global events throughout history, and how countries like India, China and Japan came about, even though I've never visited them. But if you had asked me who are the orang asli of Malaysia, or who was the king of Malaysia in 1850, I'd have no idea. The answers to those are local history, something I wouldn't know, but Malaysians definitely would.
Btw, what country did you grow up in?
Yeah but it is too generic and Europeanized in a sense.
Yeah your not gonna learn anything about Africa in the American Education system. I'm from Detroit 86% black city and we had African American history month. I went to Arizona for school and got that hot culture shock. not sure about now but back in 2005 they didn't do Black history month. Even then we weren't taught much about African Empires and Pre colonial Africa which is dope. I love African history. being in America they don't want us to know anything good about Africa. No difference than only negative things being aired about Detroit.
In my native Dominican Republic, we even use Taino, words in our everyday, language, like, Guacara(cave) Hicotea( water turtle) Guaraguao( hawk) Sigua(small bird) Bohio( a small hut) Ciguapa, Lots of people in the Dominican Republic even have Taino names, Like Guarionex, Hatuey, Jimaquem, Anacanona, Caonabo, Guaricoa, Higuemota.....lots of our provinces and territories inside the Dominican Republic have tainos names also like Higuey, Macorix, Jaragua, Cibao. And about 80 percent of the Population has Taino DNA.
Do you think that when a Dominican woman is called "India" that means that she has Taino genes?

@Right Wing Nuclear Armed Aussie It is Not the Crimes committed Five Hundred years ago. It's the denial of those Crimes now. It is the denial of Equal rights to communities that suffered then, and have suffered prejudice to this very day. It is the Arrogance of people claiming to be "Civilized" committing mass killings, arguing " it is Manifest Destiny". You Don't have to personally compensate anyone. All you have to do is share equitably the wealth of the land you now exploit.
@Right Wing Nuclear Armed Aussie Are you sure the figure is not closer to 30 billion ? Regardless, that is a drop in the ocean of an economy of 1.4 Trillion. In every measurement, Aboriginal communities are disadvantaged. Health, Life expectancy, Education, Housing, Employment, Prison rates. Compared to the rest of the population. As well as the Stolen Generation debacle. This is NOT unique to Australia, In fact, most nation states have this Grim History. (and some even worst) So, it suggests this "Assistance" is inadequate for the people you say you want to Help.
I am a taino Jamaican of Taino Arawak descent from my father’s side and black from my mother side.
@Toney Gordon I'm Jamaican had my DNA tested through both 23& me and ancestry , my results were 8% & 9% Taino respectively. I'm from Santa Cruz St. Elizabeth Jamaica which has the highest concentration of Taino DNA in it's population. Also, the Maroons having been the formerly enslaved Africans under Spanish Jamaica. You must be one of those Jamaicans who got infected with the African American victimhood mentality.
Same here, only the Arawak is on my moms side.
Lioness Ma my grand father is taino pure breed descent come from the man not the women you are mix heritage but to descendant it must come from the father
My only intention was to prove that you are not alone (to those who make claims that the Arawak weren't present) in your Taino bloodline. My descent is through Matrilineal line is all.
Lioness Ma it is the male genes that determine the the heritage or tribal clan and descent or by inheriting the father’s last name. This is how it was in biblical times and how they determine who was a Israelite and Jacob being the forefather of them. Even up to this day the Arab countries do the same thing your mother could be African and your father a arab you are regarded as a arab because it is the male genes that determine the gender of the child thus taking on the father’s bloodline and nationality aka tribal family

Well. I'm from PR. I grew up in the city of San Juan. I've learned in the Public School that the Tainos (Native Caribbean/Arawak) were killed. But Some of them scape and hide in the mountain. They are still alive. And we, the ones who didn't know because the government/school system kept us ignorant. We are learning more, we have in our heart that we are Arawak, we need to connect with nature, to our people and love. We need to learn more from our ancestors and share it with our children and the world.
The Caribbean was culturally part of South America, though it is associated with North America today. It was settled by island hoppers south to north, with smaller islands in the south like a reverse funnel towards the larger islands in the north.

Spanish officials also reclassified us in the 17nor 1800's as colored and with that act attempted to erase our native ancestry...we are here surviving as mixed race tainos

Punta is a Garifuna Music genre as well as cultural dance. It is as poetic folk art genre through which social commentary is frequently expressed. The dance represents sexual dialogue between male and female who attempt to outdo each other with unique stylized movements. It is characterized by the shaking of the hips and features an almost motionless upper torso in contrast to the constant movement of the hips, legs, and feet, creating the characteristic shaking of the buttocks found in many African-derived dances.

the Taíno prided themselves on their well-organized, self-sufficient, and religiously centered society. Equally renowned for their beautiful artwork, naturally-produced medicines, and innovative sporting activities, the Taíno, unsurprisingly, filled the 15th-century Spanish colonialists with admiration. Their unique culture is still highly regarded today, most prominently in the
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
with the conservation of former Taíno tribal villages and the celebration of numerous traditional Taíno festivals.
In the Taíno’s pre-Colombian rural society, hierarchy and religion were inextricably linked. Divided into two classes known as naborias (commoners) and nitaínos (nobles), the Taíno were governed by a cacique or chief, who, with the help of a bohique, a priest or healer, would lead the village in music and dance orientated religious ceremonies and acted as a mouthpiece between spirits and mortals. As for the ideology of the Taíno religion, the Native Americans believed in multiple deities, all referred to as zemis, and in the existence of an afterlife in which, depending on their virtuous or depraved actions on earth and whether they worshipped the Zemi or not, they would spend an eternity in a paradisiacal heaven or an agonizing hell.

Jose Carvajal that’s great are you researching your African ancestry?
@@donaldlyons180
He's researching his ancestry, not yours mind your own business
@Maria Gonzalez Why is that a great answer dummy?
@@teemoon5371 Your response is redundant. Isn't Jose Calvajal part African? Maybe mostly African. If he is searching for his ancestory then it will surely include his African, native heritage plus his 2% Spanish heritage.
Stop talking out of place.
@@donaldlyons180 yeah, I've researched a lot about it, but with the African history is easy because it is well documented. The Taino people are misterious in many ways
Love your analysis of the statistics at the end! That part really put everything you talked about into perspective.
I appreciate your content!
As someone from Trinidad, I have never met a native of the island personally, however the leader of the remaining native tribe is a person of mixed ethnicity with east indian heritage. So more than likely the few remaining natives began mixing with the Slaves and Indentured Labourers until they basically became unrecognizable.
Manzanilla had some mixed black arawak but thats being replaced with east indian and chinese blood but not replacing africans
Exactly, most of Amerindians in Trinidad are from other islands
That is not so,get your history right, you are not looking in the right place ,I am Warao in Trinidad
Trini as well and have met only one native person and is also mixed Indian and Arawak. Could be that I'm just living in town and not seeing otherwise but
@@Squiggle218 I live in San Fernando maybe we can make arrangement to meet and share the knowledge when it is safe
Masaman, You provide A LOT of information very fast. I think you’re proud of the speed at which you can deliver it. And it’s wonderful, interesting stuff to learn. Most people, though, can’t retain without pauses, without a rhythm that includes time to think. I want to listen to more, but get frustrated just a little bit into a video.
I'm a native taino I'm glad of my bloodline and can't wait for the yellow stone to awaken
What do you mean why yellow stone?
Shout out to sweet Trinidad 🥰🇹🇹 My Indian grandad is from Trinidad he’s genetically: half Indian from Calcutta (when East indentured labourers came to the Caribbean) and his other half is CARIB Indian. I grew up knowing my Carib Indian great grandma, (she was not born in Trinidad but immigrated there and met my Asian India great grandfather). She was an AMAZING woman who I loved dearly...her son (my grandad) taught me so much about my Indian: Carib and Calcutta heritage. My granddad went on to marry a black woman who was also amazing 💓 Like millions in the region, I am a child of the world: born in England with a white English mummy and a mixed race black and Indian daddy 🇹🇹 🇬🇧
Thanks for sharing about your ancestry my friend.

My Dad was American with an English/ Northern European background who came to the States in the late 1700s. My mother was Cuban from an old Spanish family who colonized Cuba back in the 1500s. My DNA revealed I was 3% Taino 47% Spanish, & 50% Northern European. Totally different cultures. Proud of both my families. Glad I got to live in Cuba for a while when I was young and revisit for summers till I was 13 (1959). Really enjoyed this presentation.
Very interesting! Which DNA company did you use?
But your not Taino. Let's be real in 20/20...some where down the line your ancestors raped or forced the inter racial relationship that gave you that 3%....

Hello and good day friends !
Excellent! Very happy to see this portrayal of the evolution of the Caribbean ethnicities! Every photo you show has the likeness of someone I have seen, met, befriended or being a relative. Thanks again and many blessings!
I remember reading about the Arrawaks and the Caribs in history lessons.As my lessons stated the Arrawaks was more peaceful than the Caribs who was shorter by stature.Your video is very indept dispite its length,you stated that there was no disease on the island before the conquestadores arrived.I guest we now know where all those diseases came from.
Your Channel value is priceless ! Great content that spreads light on misknown / hidden parts if history
I’m from the Virgin Islands 🇻🇮 but my Amerindian DNA 🧬 is from my father who was born on the island of Dominica 🇩🇲. His mother was a Carib I’m still trying to find out his fathers heritage. My paternal grandfather was born on St. Croix but his parents I believe were from Dominica 🇩🇲 as well. He looked black but also may have Native Amerindian heritage.
They all are black... but yes I'm from st thomas.
Thank you so much. I have watched this video 20 times. Love it . I feel like I owe u something. Nice to see people who are interested in people. I'm a bit prouder than than yesterday.
I'm of Taino decent as well...my mother is from the Dominican Republic and her grandmother was a native Taino woman🙏
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Thanks for this, I’m Jamaican with Taino ancestry, but we call them Arawaks.
@Live Life. Fam, Taino & Arawaks are two distinct people groups.
SoundScientist1 isn’t Arawak a language group that tainos are apart of
@@Ratsonfire. I'm not an expert in this topic. I'm still gradually learning as I find more credible Caribbean history information. But my current understanding is that: Arawak, Carib, & Taino were three distinct people groups residing throughout the chain of islands (until the albino invaders showed up & killed most of them through disease or violence).

Punta is a Garifuna Music genre as well as cultural dance. It is as poetic folk art genre through which social commentary is frequently expressed. The dance represents sexual dialogue between male and female who attempt to outdo each other with unique stylized movements. It is characterized by the shaking of the hips and features an almost motionless upper torso in contrast to the constant movement of the hips, legs, and feet, creating the characteristic shaking of the buttocks found in many African-derived dances.

I am from The Bahamas and always had an interest in the Taino's and where they ended up if any survived. I enjoyed the video.
Hi all I am from Puertorican descendants and my great grandfather was from the Taino people. Having my DNA done it came out that I have 14% indigenous from PR and of the other percentages from South America. The most percentage is from Portugal and Spain, not even saying from other regions. I always had a closeness with Native Indian and now knowing why it is great! I am doing my family tree and studying my genealogy especially my Native part. This video was very interesting and well put.
Jamaica, English colony, adn natives 2% , Porto Rico Spanish colony , adn native 16% , Haiti French colony adn native 0% . minute video 8:24
Mines also
Just got back from St. John and went on a hike to a Taino site. The etchings in stone were amazing.
Thank you for your effort to shed light on the Taino/Arawak subject. As a child in Puerto Rico, I was taught that the Taino were extinct. Well, today I have mtDNA evidence that says different! We still live. Taino Daka!

We still heree!! YASAKAREKONG KAMAKONG!! I AM CARIB or we call ourselfs Kalinya or Kribisi... I am from Surinam... and believe me if i tell you in SURINAME WE ARE FUCKING LEGENDS!!
KAIKOESI IS THE NATIONAL HERO like GERONIMO, THE ONLY THING IS WE WON😎 Soo in Surinam🇸🇷 you have a lot off Carib Villages i personaly think we have MORE than in The Caribbean... We Have Bernharddorp, Wit Santi, Redi Doti, Cabendadorp, Kumbasi, Langamangkondre, Akarani, Pikin-Saron, Galibi, Columbia, Tapoekoe, Erowarte, Bigi-Ston, Calbo, Corneliskondre, Konomerumè, Maho, Kalebaskreek, Tibiti,.. These are the CARIB VILLAGES in Suriname, and you have also ARAWAK villages and there also mixed with Carib.. and there are also TRIO VILLAGES, i tell you this because i think people overlooked Suriname... now you have a idea of how the Real Suriname looks like.. Because we call Surinam the Hart of the Amazon there plentyyyyy Natives, but it seems like the white people don't count us fairly in the historybooks, and you have also a lot of black indians in Suriname they are half Native half creole but they see themselfs as full Natives also hindu people mix with Native and Javanese people mix with Native, nowadays you have a lot of brasilians looking for gold and they mixed with TRIO tribe at APOERA Village, and there beautifull grey eyes, blue eyes natives they look like angels, soo i can tell you in Suriname you can find a Carib in 1second🙌🏾🔥🏹
You mean Black bean All over your face.

Thank you for this video. My family is from trinidad and ive always been curious of the history of the island
How about an episode on the rich African culture that still exists in Loíza, Puerto Rico?
Wow one city. Meanwhile the rest of the Puerto Ricans belittle darker complexions and are prejudice towards the darker Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and Haitians on the Island. Always making jokes and making fun of the hair and African features. The entire island should embrace the African culture every single day like the rest of the Caribbean, not just "one town" or when its beneficial. Even though Boricuas tend to look more Eurocentric you are still Black as well even if its a smaller percentage. Yet people there do not like to embrace it. I've lived in PR so i know what I'm talking about.

Loíza is a beautiful place
@@charlottecamila2859 man get this divisive ass negativity all the way the fuck outa here. Plenty of us embrace and celebrate our african ancestry

Hi Masaman, please make videos about these
How Austronesians are Japaneses?
What did happen to the Hayatos? The Japanese Austronesians
This channel is pretty cool.
Please can we hear more about the Garifuna from St Vincent who were taken to Belize? Great Video as always!
Taken?
@@rarnold310 yes taken they were slaves of the British what do you think would happen to them
@@FlyingNazgul-wm1dv they were not slaves. They were double crossed, captured, and dumped on Roatan in attempts to curb the constant attacks on the British in St. Vincent.
@darkeagle I am Garifuna from St. Vincent. What do you mean what were they doing in America during slavery? Garifunas are from the Americas (primarily the Caribbean region) that's where the two groups of people that formed their ancestry met.
@darkeagle No. Garifuna people or Black Caribs are a mixed people of both African and Kalinago/Carib, and some Arawak aboriginal descent. It is more correct to say that the majority, while acknowledging the Aboriginal contribution, primarily self identify as black.
Im Haitian 🇭🇹 and my maternal grandmother is Taino her entire family survived colonization. They lived in the mountains which Haiti has so much of . These statistics aren’t accurate.
8:34 Is the Cuban sample taken from Cubans living in Cuba or Cuban exilees in Miami? The racial makeup percentages would vary a lot depending on which ones are being sampled.
Absolutely love the channel Masaman.
I would love if you made a video on the roots of Colombian people! 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
The coastal part of Colombia would be a great start since if I'm not mistake is heavily influenced by the Caribbean culture (at least some parts from what I have read).
Would love to hear your perspective based on the research you do.
Keep up the good work
I would like to know more about the native of St Vincent
They are still there!
Garifunas PEOPLE from svg to Central America you tube
My grandmother was one of the final surviving caribs indians in st lucia. Both my grandparents were indo caribbean from both sides. I am proud to be indo caribbean
A lot of Tainos went into hiding. 💯 Something history books won't tell u, but the elders/ ancestors WILL!

How much percent taino do you need to have to identify as taino? My grandma and great grandmother were both high percentage I want to know my roots 😔
@@hexmaniacgabby5160 take a dna test, it helps a lot with getting a better understanding! you don’t necessarily need a certain percentage to claim your taino roots, as long as you have it in you, then you are Taino
Lol I have 6%. I actually was expecting much more. Turns out I am more Jew than Taino. Lol
When it comes to the Taino natives, they tended to be friendly. They were a branch of the greater Arawak family of natives. The Arawaks, which break up into many native groups, spread from Central America to South America. One group that migrated to what is today Venezuela then went north to populate many of the Caribbean islands. These became the Taino. Another branch of the greater Arawak family of natives were the Chanés, they also tended to be friendly. However, they ended up living in northern Argentina. The following shows the Chanés natives do a Pim Pim (dance). They borrowed the Pim Pim from the more aggressive Guarani natives who tended to subjugate them. The Guarani are not part of the Arawak family of natives. Taino so anyone with some Taino, meet your distant cousins the Chanés - Video - ua-cam.com/video/MHqM5Evqz0ct/v-deo.htmlhe
