The history in general of Boriken
(Native Puerto Rico)
- La Cultura de Puerto Rico
- Por Maria Teresa Babin, Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña,
1973. Al buscar las raIces de nuestra cultura nativa es
imprescindible reconocer el hecho de la existencia del indio
borincano y del sedimento que lego' a la estructura del
pueblo puertorriqueño.
- Information on Jatibonicu Region Aibonito, Puerto
Rico
- By Hilario De Leon, The Associated Press, El Nuevo Dia, 20
November 1997. Archaeological investigation of a cemetary
(in Spanish).
- The Taino Culture of Puerto Rico
- 25 May 1999. The Taino Culture began about 2,500 years ago.
The Taino developed a specialized relationship with the
island. Destruction of the island's forests by coffee
orchards and other developments will be limited, and the
archeological remnants of the lost Taino Culture will be
preserved in these beautiful highlands.
- Tainos recover identity
- By Iván Román, Orlando Sentinel,
15 October 2000. There has been a small but growing,
decades-long fight to get people to recognize that Tainos
are still here, not wiped out during the first century of
Spanish conquest as portrayed in school textbooks. In Puerto
Rico, besides the rise in educational and cultural-preservation
groups, some people have organized their tribes to claim a
distinct identity and space.
- The Legend of Guanina
- 7 December 2001. One of the first legends retold in Puerto
Rico is that of Guanina. Once the Taino Indians had proven
that the Spaniards were not immortal through the death of
Diego Salcedo, they rebelled. The legend of Guanina tells of
that rebellion.
