Taino Heritage

Taino heritage refers to the cultural legacy of the Taíno people, the indigenous inhabitants of the Caribbean islands—such as Puerto Rico, Dominica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, and parts of Cuba—before European contact. Recognized for their advanced farming, skilled craftsmanship, and rich oral traditions, the Taíno played a vital role in shaping Caribbean history. Today, Taino heritage is preserved through language, art, traditions, and ongoing efforts to honor their contributions and reconnect with their ancestral roots, fostering cultural pride and awareness of indigenous history in the Caribbean.
