Borikén/Puerto Rico (UCTP Taino News) - Puerto Rico's Institute of Culture, a governmental agency, has historically promoted the island's demographic heritage as a blending of three cultures – American Indian, Spanish, and African – forming one a national identity.

Data released from the 2010 U.S. Census documents a different perspective as more "Puerto Ricans" are defining themselves as American Indians.

Hola Community
In earlier announcements I mentioned that I was invited last year to participate in the Taino Consciousness Symposium that was held at the Smithsonian's Native American Museum in Washington. I had the opportunity to interview Profesor Juan Manuel Delgado, a historian, who shared his ideas about the fallacy of the Taino extinction.
