En los dias de nuestros antepasados

los ancestros encantaron reunirse debajo de los arboles.  

Facebook tiene su "pared", nuestro Pueblo tiene la....

Ah! el arbol! ese es el que le tira agua a uno, recuerdo la vez que me puse a dormir debajo de ese arbol, y me caian gotas de agua encima, pense que estaba lloviznando, pero, observando la gotas salian dl arbol no de las nubes! Arbol o Maca, es sagraqdo para los tainos, pricipalmente el arbol de Ceiba!

Mi pueblo cuan unida me siento a el y que falta me hacen cuando no estamos juntos fisicamente pero se que en el espiritu si estamos juntos. A este nuevo despertar le doy gracias porque con el me ha traido personas, experiencias y cosas maravillosas, cada dia es un nuevo comenzar. Semign cacona guari, mi pueblo! Pero siempre recuerden que en la UNION es que esta la fuerza.

My people how united I feel to them, how much I miss all of you when we are not physically together but I now that in the spirit we are together. To this new awakening I give thanks because with it has brought people, experience and so many wonderful things, everyday is a new beggining. Semign cacona guari, my people! But always remember that in our UNION is our strenght.

Yo siento asi tambien. Me encanto este forum de Guaytiao que da opportunidad para la gente que vive en la Tierra Firma un chance de compartiar con El Concilio y conoce su herencia Taina. Viviendo afuera de Boriken, lejos de su tierra, y lejos de su gente es fuerte. Por lo meno por medio de este forum Boriken no siente tan lejos!

I feel the same way. I love this forum Guaytiao, that gives an opportunity for the people who live on the Mainland a chance to communicate with El Concilio and learn about their Taino heritage. Living outside of Boriken, far from our land, far from our people is rough. But at least thanks to this forum, Boriken doesn't feel so far away.

Enjoyed activities will including hiking Taino style -- with mayohuacan (log drum) and maracas! -- Naming and Coming of Age ceremonies, 1000 year ceremonial old ballgames of Batu, workshops in Taino traditions, authentic Areytos (ceremonial dances), and more!
