Taino revival

Taino revival refers to the cultural resurgence among the descendants of the Taino people, the indigenous inhabitants of the Caribbean, particularly in places like Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Fueled by a growing interest in indigenous heritage, this movement seeks to reclaim and celebrate Taino language, traditions, and identity that were suppressed following European colonization. Efforts include cultural education, community events, and the preservation of traditional practices. This revival not only fosters pride among Taino descendants but also raises awareness about the historical injustices faced by indigenous peoples in the region.
