    Hello,
    The "Taino" indian blood line is still on the island but not in a community as I know of it, and not "full blood". Many "Dominicans" will say they have Taino ancesters but this is an unproven statement.
    There are Taino mixed blood, but I have yet to meet an authetic Taino.
    Sorry for not being of much help. There are some resources on the island, but not online. This is the closest I have found.
    Best regards,
    Christopher edenranch@gmail.com

    Thanks for posting your blog. I have been wanting to get in contact but I didn't know French. I would really like to connect with the Carib communities in both Martinique and Dominica, especially how you can use the language in paddling.

    Hey, No there are no indigenous settlements here. most peopel are ven unaware of other native groups other than the Caribs and Arawaks. We are very small islands, and I feel the original 'settlers' were transient Taino, who surely visited here in their travels (we are located between Jamaica and Cuba).. they are know to be in this region of the Caribbean. Also, you may find of interest books about the travels of Cabeza de Vaca in the NW Caribbean&Southern USA . My Islands' closest (most visible) link to native indians is probably through our linkages with the Bay Islands of Honduras - a traditionally strong connection.
    The use of island foods (or lack thereof_ amongst the Caribbean islands also refects some interesting linkages.)
    I look forward to seeing your book!
