Après un an de silence, le ministère de la Culture vient de relancer le dossier relatif à la demande de restitution des squelettes de cinq Kali’na et d’un Arawak à la communauté amérindienne du bas Maroni. Ces six personnes étaient mortes à cause des conditions dans lesquelles elles avaient été maintenues à l’hiver 1892 lors de leur exhibition par le Jardin d’acclimatation de Paris. Considérées à l’époque comme des objets d’études scientifiques, les dépouilles sont toujours conservées au musée de l’Homme. Il reste moins de trois mois au Gouvernement et à une mission parlementaire pour établir des préconisations sur la...
Family of #AfroIndigenous #activist in immigration detention worries he may be deported back to danger

"#ErlinCenteno's family has feared being permanently separated since the father of three children was detained four months ago following a routine check-in with #immigration authorities in New York City.
"The lives of Centeno and his family were endangered after four of his cousins were killed and he started receiving many letters and text messages containing death threats, according to court transcripts obtained by NBC News of his testimony to an immigration judge. The threats were a result of the work he and his cousins did defending the territorial rights of Afro Indigenous communities in his homeland known as #Garifuna, according to Centeno and his wife.

"The Garifuna people are descendants of enslaved #Africans, and also #Arawak and #Caribbean #Indigenous communities who have historically been displaced from their ancestral lands. Many of them remain in #Guatemala, #Nicaragua and #Belize — but most of them are in #Honduras, where they face high levels of violence, #racism and extreme poverty, according to the Inter-American Commission on #HumanRights (IACHR).
"#Centeno started advocating for #GarifunaRights in 2020, working with the Black Fraternal Organization of Honduras, one of the most prominent Garifuna nonprofits in Honduras. According to an #IACHR report, their members have long been harassed, threatened, beaten, kidnapped and killed amid land grabbing and territorial disputes involving industries with high economic interests in the region — which has intensified as local #investors have sought to #develop the area — as well as local gangs fighting over territories."

Há alguns dias "comemoramos" a "descoberta" da América por Colombo.
Assim, o vídeo de hoje apresenta as #línguas que #Colombo encontrou nas #Antilhas e ajudou a exterminar em menos de um século.

Someone I don’t like created a video and they only mentioned the Taino people for about 10 seconds and in those ten seconds they mentioned how the Taino people were “thankful” when Christopher Columbus showed up because he saved them from the Caribs because HE reported the Taino were at “war” with them and the Caribs “ate” the Taino’s.
I’m a bit tired so consider this a sneak peak to a post I’ll create in the future.
There’s not enough data to support the claim the Kalinago’s ate the Taino’s. There’s so little information we know about the Kalinago because someone, not pointing at anyone in particular, killed so many of those people and destroyed so much of their history that what information we do know about them, came from a guy who’s less smarter than a fifth grader.
Here’s a quick history check for you. If you’re going to mentioned history, more specifically Taino history, at least get the names of the tribes right so you don’t look like an idiot before you even open your mouth.
Caribs, and Taino are broad terms.
There was several tribes in the Caribbean, such as the Kalinago and the Arawak being the biggest. However when Christopher came by, and killed nearley everyone, all of our culture and history became so sparse everyone joined together under the Taino umbrella.
If you google “What are the indigenous people of the Caribbean called?” You’re probably going to get Taino. It might also mentioned that the Taino came from places such as Jamaica, and Hispaniola, which doesn’t make sense, seeing how other people think the Kalinago, (Cairbs) were the inhabitants of Jamaica and Hispaniola as well, so which one is it?
Before you think about mentioning the Taino people perhaps you should figure out the name of the tribes you’re talking about before it becomes evident the shit that comes out of your mouth is flavoured with lies and deception.
