Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day from a bitter bastard that descended from one of the Tainos Columbus didn’t pick off

In 1493, on his second voyage for the Spanish Empire, Christopher Columbus invaded the Caribbean island. Puerto Rico fell to colonial rule following a war against the Taínos, the island’s indigenous population. Spain also participated in the slave trade, using enslaved (cont)

He stopped in Hispaniola & decimated the native Taínos

Said by a guy who is weirdly, stubbornly protective of an Italian who got lost, raped and murdered bunch of Taínos, including children, in addition to cutting off their hands and hanging them around their own necks

I just finished #reading this #book: #TheMythologyAndReligionOfTheTainos by #SebastianRobiouLamarche
This was an easy to read study of the #mythology and #religion of #Tainos. A great starting point if you're interested in learning about this culture

A 16h30 sur @franceculture.fr L'Entretien archéologique parle de l'archéologie de la Caraïbe. Entre Taïnos et Kalinagos quel portrait se dessine de ces sociétés insulaires qui peuplaient l'archipel avant l'arrivée des colons européens ? www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...

As a proud son of Tainos, enslaved Africans, and colonizing Europeans, I wish you all a peaceful, thoughtful Indigenous Peoples' Day.

So, there's nothing like lefties splaining our own history to us. Don't do it. I am Afro-Latina indigenous. Mayans and Taínos were in the Americas obviously before Mexico was Mexico and Puerto Rico was Puerto Rico.

Sorta quick answer from an Afro-Latina:

The Tainos named the island Xaymaca (Jamaica) meaning “lush land” or “land of wood and water”.

Isn’t it cool how hibiscus is referred to as Jamaica in so many Latin American cultures?

voces... voces sabiam que ele, na verdade, não é humano, e sim um mestiço de humano com lycarin..? (raça imaginária de homens-lobo); são povos baseados na tribo indígena dos taínos, e protetores da floresta

abaixo o pai dele... (não desenhei a mãe ainda, mas ela é tão um amor, imaginem)

I just finished #reading this #book: #TainoMythology by #BillyWellman
I used the struggle to find books on #Tainos, but since last year's trip to #PuertoRico, I've found an abundance of them.
I have to stop using the hash tag #ReadingIsDelicious because #HunterTheBeagle took a bite.
