2:16-2:21 that is a LIE , Indians did not think that the white men were gods, they made us think that they were superior and enslaved us and taught us false teachings
That’s not why Columbus was arrested and he was extremely religious
They didn't thought they are God
They welcome as a Guest.

Just because you are ignorant doesn't mean everybody else is lol
As an ethiopian, i love Puerto Rico 🇵🇷❤ and i love learning about the taino people, which i had just found out about few weeks ago sadly.
Being Native American, I need this. My father and his siblings were treated so poorly, he didn't even out down on our birth certificates. Unfortunately, all my grandmother and her brothers are all passed, so talking to them about their lives won't happen. Moving around in the Marine Corps made it difficult to attend family get together and now it is just too late. Luckily the internet is there to help me through my journey.
I wasnt even told I was part native American until my mom found out I was able to get grants for collage
I had a crapy up bringing litteraly joined the army so i could get away from home
@Giovanni Balbosa-Mc Intosh I think they are called native Americans because they were the first to settle in the is so called America and call it home I said so called because I don't really know the continent's original name precolonialism

@Lena-zc1weyes. It may be even worse for what they did to the aboriginals

none of this history is really missed, because Columbus and his crew wrote it all down (It´s in every history book). If you want to know how America really was found, check out how the viking Leif who was a norse explorer (half a millenium before Colombus) was the first European to set foot on continental America

Because this is fake history. His men were attacked EATEN by a neighboring trib, Caribs, along with Tainos. Columbus attacked Caribs...not Tainos.
If Columbus didn't attack your actual ancestors then you have no grievance against him. The Americas are two huge continents and its people aren't a monolith. Columbus never waged war against the entirety of America's people.

Possibly, but what's to say that Spain wouldn't have sent another "explorer?" It's unlikely that they would've sent anyone less brutal.
@@matthewbittenbender9191 right? Or they could've squashed their plans altogether since entire crews and ships never made it back for reasons unknown. Crazy to think about though.
@@cl7700 ships were lost without a trace all the time back then. Sometimes the sea just swallows people up. That never stopped them. Even reports of hostile natives didn't stop them, they just sent more guns. Imperialists thought the greater the resistance, the greater the prize they were defending. It might've slowed them but this unfortunately inevitable imo.
They tried, unfortunately the taino only had wood clubs for weapons, the colonizers had steel swords, armor, war dogs, and disease
Lolz yeah your probably right about that and the European nations would have been convinced that the world was flat if no ships ever came back when they came over to this land
So unfair how Columbus was claimed as a hero for centuries meanwhile Anacaona was let in oblivion.
He was a barbarian. Read up on what he did to the Haitians.
When I was in high school I asked my teacher how did he discover a land where people already lived and did Columbus rape and kill and my teacher kicked me out the class,

He is a hero, if it wasn’t for him you wouldn’t even be in America
@@adrianothegoat Obvious bait is obvious.
Columbus was actually looking for the Maluku islands in the East Indies to colonize, not India. he was looking for the Moluccan spice islands but got lost and was sailing to Turtle island. That’s why native Americans are called Indians. European countries fought for the Moluccan spice monopoly that eventually came into Dutch hands. It made the Dutch VOC rich and powerful. (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie), the Dutch East India Company would be worth about $7.8 trillion today. Founded in 1602, it accomplished globalist capitalism some 400 years before everyone else did. the country we know as India then had a different name.
What was the purpose of finding spice though. For medicine food currency what was so important for finding spices

@@Sango-po5pi Yeah I know. I just think people put too much emphasis on blood and ancestry. We gotta stop acting as if our blood is something special.

I feel that extreme manipulation played a big part
No the native American people's were smart they was just to nice and it's not their fault the Europeans lied to them about almost everything.,.

@@FlyAwayChi right lol
I remember hearing of Anacaona growing up. It’s extremely sad that Hispaniola had the worst history of slavery than any other colonized island. They died rapidly from abuse and disease. Then when replaced by African slaves, they faced extreme brutality by the French and Spanish. Rest In Peace ancestors
Well...not exactly. Spain made a very complicated law that any land under the Spanish flag are its citizens, and this included slaves(technically). But when it comes slave brutality, nothing defeats the British(later on the Americans), the Germans, the Belgians, and the Portuguese in terms of sheer and raw brutality. Foreign slaves were a loophole for slave owners, but they have to go through great lengths just to smuggle and own slaves either by buying from African Kingdoms, the Portuguese, and the British.
@@ousamadearudesuwa Britain what pain I bought them
Replaced? did you know that there are Dominicans with Taino DNA? besides I see that you ignore that the slaves had laws that protected them from the abuses of their owners in the Spanish empire, I recommend you to investigate about the black codes.
Umm the Taino didnt benefit from anything
lmao, you got the story wrong. The Tainos did not all die! in fact, there fought together with Africans against the Europeans! These people knew damn well how to cure sicknesses using herbs. Tainos mixed up with Africans and some with Europeans by force, what you see now are the descendants of those mixtures. we are not pure Tainos anymore due to mixing. The person who invented that lie was based on going to all cities in DR and not finding one... very stupid btw, cause we are the mixed descendants.
😔😔, I was born in the US but as a kid I spent a few year in the Dominican Republic and got to go to school out there and remember hearing the stories about caonabo and ana caona
Revelation 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Revelation 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
My ancestors would be happy they are tearing down his statues in the US. I'm a proud Native from South America. My people are the Canaris from Ecuador 🇪🇨

It appears that Spain's doctrine in the Caribbean was "Bros before Tainos." I know it's hard to judge a culture 400 years later, but punishing indigenous people retaliating against the crimes your own people committed seems immoral at any point in history.
Most of history can be labeled immoral.
That's because the catholic church was telling the Spanish that they can do whatever they want.
Manifest destiny ?
@@ten4k964 in a sense, yes. It wasn't called that make during the days of the Conquistadors but the US adopted that under the Monroe Doctrine wholeheartedly 300 years later. Any atrocity can be justified in the name of God.
@@madero-jb5ri yes and no. The Jesuit, Franciscan and Dominican missionaries came to North America with the colonists and Conquistadors to try and convert the "heathens" as well as plunder. The plunder was payment to the Kings for mounting the expeditions, but where ever the missionaries went they did try diplomacy which often didn't go as planned. Yet it was attempted time and again. The Church had often taken a "convert or die" approach to non-believers and using the armies of nations to carry their beliefs by force was used far more than missionaries and diplomats. The Anglo, Franco and Hibernian centric beliefs of Imperial Europe was the key factor in the pillaging but the Church could've decreed a better approach if they wanted to.
For years before Columbus the Caribe Indians committed atrocities against the Tainos.
The Caribe raided settlements of tainos throughout all the islands, from Venezuela, Columbia to as far north as Florida and the Panhandle.
They committed atrocities and enslaved them.
The Taíno are here my friend. Lord Jesus has preserved us to this day. We aren't dead, we are strong and very much alive.

How do you discover something that is already inhabited by thousands
The truth in American history only highlights the side that paints a good.
Everything about "discovery" of land was needed for being in favor of the King/Queen- producing money and status to avoid being sentenced to death.
They planted their Spanish Flag? on Taino land and claimed ownership? Took Tainos as slaves on their land and made them work mines? Built a Fort on that land ? Raped Taino women as Spaniards left behind were graciously permitted to stay ...
The savages were those from Europe who took it upon themselves to expand their trajectory into other lands "discovered" to claim.
Conquest and Conquer whatever it took as barbarians .
"The New World " Indigenous had every right to resist occupation . You can't take what is not yours and not expect resistance!
And to this day, throughout the years, many lies intend to "justify" actions that steal, take and manipulate persons of color.
@@LJonesW213 im with you man
Biased American history that’s all…
Thank you for sharing, The Taino ppl suffered when the Spaniards and French arrived. This should be shown in school. Queen Anacaona was one of the Tainos that fought back against the terrible Spaniards , she was fearless and fought agains the injustices of the Spanish conquistadors. She was from my hometown Yaguana, Hayti (Leogane, Haiti)🇭🇹
There sure are a lot of Spanish speaking counties in the Americas.
Epic History TV sent me here.
I think I shall stay.
The last "Cacique" or chief to opposed the Spaniards was named ENRIQUILLO, not Enrique.
Enrique the name the Spanish gave him. He is said to have been a small man... Enriquillo
He’s actual name is Guarocuya, Enrique was the name the Spaniards gave him as he was raised in a catholic monastery as a child !
@DOJA FOX I know that , I’m a Taino descendant myself , there aren’t any full blooded taínos left, the Taino language remains with the Garinagu ( the black Caribs ) many songs were lost along with the traditions. There are people with high percentages of Taino dna both in DR and in PR, just blood and no traditions.
@DOJA FOX if there’s any half Taino out there is due to intermingling with people who have higher Taino dna and not because a full blooded Taino married a non Taino , the most important Taino component to claim Taino is the culture component, if these so called taínos don’t practice the culture then all they can say is that they’re descendants.
@DOJA FOX that’s not true ! Puerto Rican’s have between 15%-25% Taino DNA on average , I’ve seen people with 30%, Dominicans go from 5%-15% and I’ve seen 20% -30% which is high and ese for Dominicans , Cubans go even lower but to say 1% and the rest is European and African is not close to accurate! That’s why I said through mixing there might be some 50% out there but like I keep saying culture is the most importan factor
Wasnt taught this in school. History is written by the winners.
Well yeah but it also depends on who is controlling the narrative. The way Southern Historians paint the Civil War you would think they had won it or at least fighting the good fight. Well for slavery😐

It’s easier to except this when mixed but much harder for those that are not and less understood by those that were not effected by that negative trickle down. This includes PR and the mainland USA. One way most people like to white wash things is to we all came from Adam which really isn’t a valid argument because if we all truly believed that than our country would not be in such disarray as the four father’s sure as hell were racist. The Bill of Rights, the Constitution itself is like a time table of proof for this and amendments for each time that were created to to fix some of these issues. Just adding more to this discussion here as to why originating from Adam does not mean anything today and truly does not mean anything to those in the mainland. If we truly believed it and honed in on it then we wouldn’t be in this situation. We bare the cross of our evil and vile European ancestors. It is what it is yet we don’t try to except it and all it’s adverse effects into today’s society. SMH.

The Pleiadian’s rescued them and they started their journey through the waters of the cosmos looking for our planet ki Tiamat Atlantis bcuz it didn’t sink.

As I understand it, since the Taino were believed to be extinct and because the US government doesn’t care about the indigenous people anyway, the Bureau of Indian Affairs does not recognize Taino.
Christopher Columbus is celebrated here in the USA, but he was wicked.
While on a glass bottom boat in the Caribbean I was given this history of Columbus and his crew. Upon returning home I did quite an extensive study of him. WOW!

Nah. Definitely historical. Just like everywhere else on earth civilizations war with each other to gain land, slaves, and assets.

The story changes a little every time I hear it. What’s true, what’s not, anyones guess, I guess.
🤣🤣
Western Europeons were so misunderstood
What happened was Columbus land on a continent that already belonged to the Indians and they (the Caucasian) took it by force after they saved their lives by what we now called Thanksgiving. Then stole the Africans from their land to come here and work for free under very harsh, Brutal conditions for hundreds of years.
The natives were primitive and dumb and basically a smarter better type of human showed up and beat their asses and claimed their land. Pretty much like what ever other civilization was doing at the same time. Only difference is the Indians are still mad about it 400 years later when they should be mad at their ancestors for not progressing and advancing their society and for being weak and getting they're asses whooped
Those who are of Taino descent are not extinct, there are still many Puerto Ricans today who still have substantial taino ancestry, I am one of those Puerto Ricans who is proud to be genetically connected to my indigenous ancestors. However most Puerto Ricans today are multiracial with ancestry of Taino, European and African heritage

This history flash failed to give numbers of how many Native's were slaughtered when Columbus left his brother Barthalemeu in charge of the island. Three million Native's reduced to thousands, as murder, rape, pillage, and pandemic raced over the island. It was a genocide, that went on over the next several hundred years that cost the lives of over 100 million people on North and South America. Yet, you'd have to go to college in the United States to learn the real history.

My jaw dropped as I learn, mega genocide of indigenous Native Americans, and their population in Continents of America 500 yrs ago was around 15 millions, while European population in Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native Americans population is 15 million, while European population, in Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering 'TWO BILLIONS'! A sad truth.
I agree, about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return to rightful owners indigenous Native American people.
True, notorious global cardinal crimes Anglo West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why is notorious Colonization still lingering on, which makes sense. The Continents of America are NOT a new world!
Truth is Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization are evil things done and benefited by evildoers.
Why not let Native Americans have Europe, since Europeans have had both North & South America Continents; a fair deal?
Remember the saying, "A Man's Got To Do, What A Man's Got To Do".
The truth of the matter is that indigenous Native People would forever be the subject of scapegoat, and victimized by the Colonizers of their lands, as long as they occupy those rich bountiful lands in order to justify their occupation. In other words, the Colonizers are 'Living in Denial', aka, 'Living in Sin'. 🤔
Taino is a colonial name as Arawack is the name of the indigenous people in the island Boriken also known as Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is the colonial name. Boriken is the indigenous name of the island. I don't recognize colonial names.
Thank you so much for your precious information. I'm a history teacher and I will certainly use the real names you mentioned...Thank you, thank you so very much.
Yes my island is Quisqueya(Hispaniola/DR & Haiti) but Cuba and Boriken are also two other names for our islands in the Caribbean

@virginyahphernandez6057 The spainish empire controlled colonies in North and South America, but in 1821, Centrol America, even El Salvador and Mexico declared their independent from Spain. . This is how South America is considered to be North America, in the 16 century a Spanish explorer under the command of Herman Cortez landed on what they believed to be an island on the Pacific coast they named it California after the Montalvo's mythical island. Later, Mexico took control over America, which was discovered by Spainards from spain. And in 1858 Under the Treaty was signed between Mexico and the United States. Mexico recognized the U.S. annexation of Texas and agreed to sell California and the rest of the territory north of Rio Grande. Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, most of Arazona and Colorado. And parts of Oklahoma and Wyoming . Became the United States by a treaty Also, in 1821, the treaty of Spain, Florida, became part of the United States. There more.
Christopher Columbus did not discover America at all, but he entered a unique continent and helped a lot to conquer that continent.
Most, if not all Jamaicans will tell you that Colombus didn't discover a bloody thing. He just conquered and claimed.
Like I said, greed is a major driving force behind "Slavery, Colonialism, Colonization & Genocide".

Conquer you mean rape
I mean if you conquer and claim then you can say you discovered it. That type of dumb primitive thinking is why the Indians got their asses beat and land taken
Yes he did discover it. Nobody knew of America's existence and he made the rest of the world aware of its existence. Its that simple.
As a point of comparrison, lets say we get into the age of space exploration and we discover the first planet that can host humans, but its already inhabited by some sort of humanoids. Would that theoretical capitain not be credited with its discovery? Ofc he would be, he would have discovered it for us, not for them.
Or another more mundane example, lets say you find some non-mainstream band that does music that is rly up your alley and you did it by accident. Would this not be considered a discovery of music? Ofc it would be.
In the beginning, the Tainos allowed them to settle, gifted them gold and showed them where to find more. They worked in alliance and benefited much from each other.

@@vindenap6987 first we need to clarify:
Are you talking about the central america islanders or the south american natives?
Because for the nature of living in small islands the development is significantly slower because of the difficulty to interact in large scale with other civilizations partaking in trade, exchange of products, resources and ideas.
Cyprus is a small island but was fairly developed because it was the Mediterranean crossroad of civilizations.

Meh, they weren't that significant in the big scheme of things.
Indeed, they seemed to be slackers.
Why didn't THEY build large maritime craft (equipped with a variety of types of sails, sextant or at least astrolabes and magnetic compasses for navigation, some steel for armament), sail them across the Atlantic, land in Spain and make THEIR men, women, and children dig gold and other precious gems and metals for THEM?
Don't respond with silly stuff that they were just "nicer" and stuff.
They were slackers! They fell behind, technologically.
Moreover, they were stupid in the sense that they didn't understand the power represented by the trans-oceanic achievement of the Europeans (not to mention, the advanced metallurgy they possessed, etc.).
I mean, really; would we gratuitously kill forty aliens left behind, who just landed on our planet from a highly advanced spaceship? Wouldn't we realize that their brethren aliens will just come back and reap vengeance on our planet for having done that?!?

Apparently "brutality and extermination" aren't the monopoly of the European mentality; but the Europeans could do many other things which made THEIR culture an "important piece of human history".
I'm just curious as to the sources of the information about Christopher Columbus' direct involvement in a lot of the events and atrocities that is attributed to him. Because to my knowledge, a lot of it was derived from the writings of a Bartolomé de Las Casas, where he talks about the deplorable conditions the natives were put through due to Spanish colonization. However, the link to Columbus, to my knowledge, was put forth by an excerpt written by Howard Zinn where he claims that Bartolomé de Las Casas had written about how he personally witnessed Christopher Columbus committing these atrocities. The problem with that is Bartolomé de Las Casas was like 8 years old when CC made landfall in 1492 and Bartolomé de Las Casas didn't actually go to Hispaniola for the first time until 1502. By all accounts, his writings about the things being done to the indigenous people were from the Spanish colonialists, but not directly to Christopher Columbus. Other sources claimed that Christopher Columbus himself simply explored the area, but the Spaniards that came after him after learning about the lands were the ones who basically performed all of the atrocities we know the indigenous people went through. By some accounts the indigenous people liked Columbus and befriended him and that he tried to advocate for them. Of course I don't have proof of either argument, just talking about the conflicting information I have read about. Most of the articles I've read don't cite any sources and simply state things as if "it is known." I am hoping that somewhere there can actually be citations on where we're getting this information from...
