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!!!

    Tau ti,
    Pleasure to "meet "you,I read your page,you sound like a good/smart brother.I don't have nice taino picturs up,as I don't have a good camara.OR a good computer-this one is very old and can't handle to much data!I would like to ask that you join me on my discussion of the latest study on DNA-done in Cuba,but say's that the same Haplogroup "A" MtDNA exists in Boriken tambien,so I would think that many would be interrested in this controversial/interesting information about "who we are"today.I ordered a Cemi of Yucahu from Tainoray,I can't wait to get it,I will activate it,as per my Behique's intructions(Beike Miguel Sobaoko Koromo Sague)-do YOU know of any source for other Cemis?!-and Taino music!?-I have a feeling that you could"hook me up",with sellers of all the different Cemis and Taino music,clothes,etc.,etc.,etc! Taiguey ,Bo'Matum,
    Frank AkuTurey
