Taino revival movement

The Taino revival movement is a cultural effort to restore and celebrate the identity, traditions, language, and history of the Taino people, indigenous to the Caribbean before European contact. It emerged as a response to centuries of colonization, exploitation, and cultural disappearance. Participants aim to preserve Taino heritage through language revival, traditional practices, and raising awareness. This movement fosters pride and reconnects descendants and others with Taino roots, contributing to the broader recognition of indigenous rights and history in the Caribbean region.
