I know this is a very old discussion, but I just clicked on it today and would like to come back to it when I have more time (so this is just a reminder to myself)

I have never seen this topic, I guess better late than never. Because Im an old man born poor. I lived by foot walking from Orocobix to Morovix. I was born in Arecibo. My parents raised me the same as her parents passing on the old ways. When we travel we kept away from strangers, avoiding any people we encountered or heard from a distance unless they were other family members. A movie in Apocalypto (2006) showed the fear we felt when we traveled and encountered strangers. All the families from boys and girls including the old women were ready to fight. That scene reminded me of the old way of how dangerous it was when we met others on the road. The only one that questions our existence is usually someone from the USA or someone that never came to the island or they were raised on the island but in cities that have been Christianized with high Spaniards. We are forced to allow our children to go to public schools or pay fines or jail time. This was to educate our youth on the falsehood of Christianity to the so-called hero of Columbus. In Morovix and Orocobix there are still people from the old country nowadays refer as JIBAROS. Hidden from the eyes of the people that today try to harm us. In order to survive we learn to assimilate and make sure the young boys and girls learn to listen and learn to judge in fear the modern Puerto Ricans who are not Borikua only for the convenience of their selfish pride. To us, they are Christian simulations that will harm and even kill us when they are faced with the truth of their history. We, like Black fathers and mothers in the United States, tell our young men and women before going out to stay away or avoid them altogether. We survived by the great land that fed us and gave us water and rivers to survive. From tall trees to climb and hide to caves to shelter and hide. This is still our, Boríke. They can drown themself, asking us for our DNA to prove we are islanders from our own island. This is like asking a Hawaiian to prove they are Hawaiian even tho he was born on the island. Ask them to prove by DNA they are real Americans they will give you the answer they are because they were born in the United States. Birth Certificate Is the DNA of an American there fore born in Boríke makes you Borikua. If only Puerto Ricans learn what is under their feet they would drop the PR and be truthfully home.

If one is born in Puerto Rico and you want to Know what your roots are simple have your DNA done

then you have no daunt about having Taino genes and stop the child like behavior
