Newsflash

By Luis “Kacián” Calderón
In my personal journey toward reaffirmation of my Taíno heritage, I have often wondered what our ancestors would have been doing if they lived right now and in today’s Boriken (Puerto Rico) in the 21st century. The answer doesn’t need a lot of speculation because they would be doing the same thing our native brothers and sisters in the southwest of the United States have been doing. That is that if you are an indigenous artisan, you would be doing artisan work just as your ancestors or family had been doing, most likely that’s what you also would be doing, especially if it would be a means of attaining economic independence.

MABRIKA (Welcome) to the UCTP
Thursday, 26 June 2008

The UCTP was established as a Caribbean indigenous - specifically Taíno – leadership council or an “Inter-Tribal authority” inspired by ancient indigenous confederacies as well as contemporary initiatives such as the National Congress of American Indians (U.S.), the Grand Council of the Crees (Canada), COICA (Columbia), and CONFANIE (Ecuador) etc.

Membership spans throughout the Greater and Lesser Antilles as well as the United States and beyond. The UCTP is dedicated to the promotion and protection of the cultural heritage and spiritual traditions of the Taíno and other Caribbean Indigenous Peoples for the present and future generations.

With the historic establishment of the UCTP, the descendants of the first "American Indians" to encounter Columbus in 1492 now have a forum to present a unified voice to address the many issues concerning contemporary Indigenous Peoples throughout the Caribbean and the Diaspora.

If you are Taino, Arawak, or Carib, you can become a part of this dynamic movement by affirming your Caribbean Indigenous heritage via our  Taino Census and Inter-Tribal Registration Project. Just download the enrollment forms and fill them out as per the instructions included in the document package.
