Luzia and the Possibility of New Discovery of the true Origins of Caribbean Indigenous Ancestry

Luzia's skull was found in a Brazilian cave in 1978. Her remains were stored for quite sometime until someone began to take interest in her skull. She died at the age of 20 to 25 years.… Continue

The family tree I am going to share with you today contains the ancestral heritage that goes back to the year 1990 AD to Cuba.

The people that lived during that time were the Guanahuatabey.

The Guanahuatabey were a distinct people and spoke a different language from the classic Taino.

They and the other tribes that lived in the Carribean are considered, "neo Taino."

I think that terminology is a gross error, because it is another way of insulting us all.

Neo according… Continue

Ancestry Of John J. Browne Ayes

Copyright 1956-2008 John Ayes

The following is my family tree. I have been working upon it since 1956 to present.

Explanation of PCID Post Columbian Indigenous Descent. This speaks to you of the results of my maternal mtDNA test. My father's yDNA test was a total surprise to me. He was supposed to have Irish sequences.

As it turned out his yDNA Haplo group was E3b2. Phonecian and Middle Eastern sequences with a touch of Levite Jew.

In any case, Getting… Continue

Yesterday I received an E mail from a good friend of mine. We met via a Forum that explored the genealogy of Moca Puerto Rico.

The E mail she sent me contained questions about her recent mtDNA… Continue

Florida's Indigenous Caribbean connection.

Be sure to see this month's issue of Forum from Florida
Humanities Council. It has a special on the Florida's
Indigenous Caribbean connection.

See it on their website at

Atabey Guali Ara -- Mother Earth and the Human Child

The "Discovery" of America?

This month people in various countries will be celebrating what is commonly called “Columbus Day” or “Dia de la Raza”; a day marked to celebrate the arrival of Columbus and his cronies crew onto the shores of “virgin” lands.

Many view this as an incredible event, worthy of celebration and joy. At a time when the planet was believed to be flat and only dangers and monsters awaited at the edge of the world, that a man had the audacity to take off into the vast unknown is nothing short… Continue

Columbus, A Historical Lesson

Dualities

That has always been the human downfall.

You came to us in your shining armor

And you were lost looking for the promised land.

We knew who you were

And all you would bring, there was a prophesy.

And despite knowing that

We extended our hands in friendship.

You raped us

You stole all that we had and knew

And you cut off our extended hands

Of good will and… Continue

Atabey By John Ayes

Atabey - Earth Mother

Mother of conception and birth

Mother of Yucahu

Her image has been transformed by those who practice Spiritualism. Our perception of the gods change as we change.

I created the painting upon two canvases joined together to place emphasis on the spiritual world of Atabey merging with the concept of the physical world. And to dispel the illusion of dualities.

People are actually… Continue

Archival Records of the Repartamiento de Indios and the Genealogy of Moctezuma

I am hoping everyone can read Spanish. I am going to post some documentation regarding the Repartamiento de Indios without writing my thoughts about it. The documents will tell all.

At the end of this post I have added the genealogy of Moctezuma family.

You will see precisely how mtDNA and yDNA were infused into the Spanish bloodlines and then transfered via "mestizo" children who moved to the Caribbean, Terra Firma, etc. The Moctezuma descendants have been found in Puerto Rico in the… Continue

John Ayes

I am going to post as my first blog entry a comment I had made a few minutes ago to one of our members.

I think it will describe where I am at and where I have been and where my ancestry is within.

Enjoy:

Good Evening:

I am a new member to this net work and I happened to be browsing articles and I found yours quite interesting.

I have had my mtDNA analysed by Family Tree DNA and the results showed Haplo Group C. My wife also had her mtDNA done and her… Continue

Response to Musings on Tribal Legitimacy by Michelle Kellaway

I read this essay with much interest and can identify quite a bit with what Michelle is saying when speaking of the attitudes encountered when interacting with the native peoples of the US.

I am of the opinion that some of the native peoples of the US have been convinced into believing that a piece of paper gives them authenticity. As their ancestors were brainwashed into believing the fences around their reservation, they have been brainwashed into the fences around the nation… Continue
