Yo don’t forget the Taino people on Columbus Day

• The were the first people to come in contact with the murderous bastard who enslaved their people and kidnapped their children
• It’s often assumed the Taino’s were “wiped out” they weren’t
• Taino/Arawak people are from Caribbean islands mainly (from my limited knowledge) Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Haiti.
• We as Indigenous people need to remember not to wash away the histories of other Nations not in North America
• Remember while we all have suffered since Columbus got lost, these people especially in Puerto Rico and Haiti still suffer from American Imperialism

Remember Tainos on Columbus Day
