They farmed yuca, carved their sacred zemís, played batey in their plazas, and were led by caciques like Agüeybaná. Their words still live in our mouths every day: hurricane, hammock, canoe, barbecue, tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Spain arrived in 1493, the Taíno were enslaved and their numbers devastated, and the history books called them extinct. Then enslaved Africans were brought to the island, and in the mountains, in the families and in the fight, African and Taíno lives came together. That is what Afro-Taíno means: both bloodlines, one people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey never disappeared. A 2003 University of Puerto Rico DNA study found that 61% of Puerto Ricans carry Indigenous ancestry on their mother's side. We are still here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection honors that history.
