Research Interests:

Researching and teaching myself about the indigenous presence on this island. Very little information available but I would like to share the items I am finding (and inspired by) where I live and the things I am learning. There is a direct Taino linguistic connection here from the words that have been saved. No linguistic connection to mainland North American tribes. I am an artist designer and try to raise consciousness of the past and show that it is present.

Publications:
