Edgar Retana replied to Al "Kutubanama" Velazquez's discussion Taino Words Illustrated in the group The Language Group

"Quick correction, Puma is actually a Quechua word, meaning brave. The Nahuatl word for these cats is Miztli, so cat is Mizton, or little Puma ;)."

Profile Information

About Me:: I am a proud Taino Boricua born in the Bronx NY. My childhood was in Vega Baja (Formerly known as the Yukayeke of Kacike Guakabo, Cibuco). My parents were both from Penuelas (Part of the Yukayeke of Kacike Agueybana, Guainia). I've been back in the "States" since 1978, but I always go back to my beautiful Boriken a few times every year, and working for the airlines really helps. I am very knowledgeable in my Taino culture, language, and history, and that is something I am very proud of. I've done lectures in these subjects in schools ranging from elementary to college levels. I'm a level headed guy who loves a great sense of humor and likes to look at the positive side of things. I am also a very powerful warrior when I have to stand up to adversity, ignorance, foolishness and stupidity. Ask me more if you'd like to know me. I'm here as a brother and friend!!!

Occupation:: Airline Customer Service Agent

Education:: Escuela Primaria San Vicente, Vega Baja PR (1971-1978)
William Cowper JHS73Q, Maspeth NY (1978-1981)
Newtown High School, Corona NY (1981-1984)
College of Aeronautics, East Elmhurst NY (1984-1986)

Contact Information:: E-mail me at condor1266@yahoo.com
Myspace page "Freddy"

Research Interests:: World Cultures, History, Aviation, and Animation to name a few.

Affiliation:: Taino Nation of the Antilles, Maisiti Yukayeke Taino, and the Taino People in general!!!

The census is coming!!! What identity will you check off and why???

Lots of opinions of identity have surfaced in different posts about identity, and why you identify yourself as such, often with heated debates and controversy. This is posted to bring up, not a case for controversy, nor adversity, but for healthy discussion. Let's listen and respect ALL opinions and posts. I'd love to hear from ALL!!!

Thank you for you answer.
