4th Annual Indigenous Day of Remembrance NY – honoring the indigenous ancestors included guest speakers, indigenous musical performances and activists. Luis Ramos I would like to thank Firebird Graywolf for reaching out to the various Native communities and organizations. Due to her efforts, there were amazing Native American Men and Women who were present at the event representing various First Nations such as Puma, Seminole/Cherokee; Cherokee Rose, Cherokee; Pat Paw Paw, Carnasie Indian; Tina Johnson CEO of the Cherokee Language Circle Inc.; Cherokee Language Circle members (Men and Women); Blue Feather, Cherokee; ; Hanes Second Sons (Women and Men), and Dr. Professor Laurence Waldron of Saint John’s Universityum Group members.I would like to acknowledge Yellowcorn, Cherokee and Leila Thompson of the Montauk Nation, for attending the event. Anthony Van Dunk, Lenape and Dennis Van Patton, Pequot, were an amazing presence. The various Taino families and iukaiekes were in full force. Rodney and I looked at each other and knew it would be a special day when a Taino brother, Boriken Arroyo, from Pennsylvania, shared with us that his Cacike, Carlos Rivera, chose him to represent the iukaieke.

Luis Ramos To the Guest Speakers and Performers: May Creator continue to bless you all for your gifts and talents. 1) Miguel Sague, Taino de Cubanacan …
The people in this video are mixed race Pardos. Mixture of Native American, White and Black. They are not true Native Americans like actual recognized tribes in Latin America are either pure or close to it. These Puerto Ricans are mixed race, not Native Americans. They are living in an? identity crisis. Quick to play Indian, but not quick to let everyone know about any European ancestry or African ancestry, especially European ancestry.
@TheTainojim1 You are? Puerto Rican? Most Puerto Ricans are predominantly Spanish.
My grandmother was from Morovis. Toda la isla meno Morovis. She taught me the ways of the Tainos. I had my first vision when I was 4 years old. My great grandmother was one of the last princeses of the? Taino Tribes. I’ve been to my mother land and it felt so great.
