Latest Trailer #1 for The Lost Taino Tribe documentary.

Throughout the process of creating this documentary you will be seeing new versions of trailers revealing mini stories of the eventual larger picture. As I travel and cross paths with - many of you again and many of you others for the first time - and whether it is in English, Spanish or Taino - or whether your stance about the Taino story is on the left, right or middle - the goal, the hope is to have many of your voices be… Continue

Why not the Chamorro? A possible peer in Taino cultural revival...

The discussion regarding the Taino language inspired me to further research other indigenous peoples who may be like us; folks struggling with their own individual decolonization while trying to help heal that of their people, reviving the culture and those things that are important to it, making it all work together- past, present and future-in balance.

N.Y. Production of Trailer for the Lost Taino Tribe documentary

Here are some images of the making of the documentary trailer in New York. First I want to thank you all that supported and welcomed us to your wonderful city.

Each person - each group - are similiar and different in many ways and together makes for a powerful story.

One week… Continue

Claiming My Rich Heritage...Claiming My True Identity......

It is essential to know our roots and where we come from. It is an important part of who we are as people.

These questions have been running around my head for a couple of weeks now... I had to put them out there. Just thoughts to ponder....

Is the good that a person does reason enough to accept abuse and disrespect from them?

Does the fact that a person chooses to sacrifice and give so much of his/her time and effort to a people, compensate for that person becoming dictatorial or tyrannical?

Do great strides allow a government the freedom to trample upon rights they… Continue
