I’m of isleño descent myself. My ancestors left the island of Tenerife and settled in (Valenzuela) Dans La Fourche Parish, Louisiana in 1779. They would later settle in Victoria, Tx
I am 78% from Spain. I just found documentation of my paternal maternal ancestor lineage were from this island (1500s) My ethnicity has 1% North African. I now must add the Berbers in my heritage. I know little and will study love Genealogy
I am Isleños of Louisiana… and although I am Hispanic, some Guanches DNA was discovered in my Genome… evidently my two main Canarian ancestors were a Spaniard and a Guanches 😂❤
Contrary to what many say the Spaniards never had colonies, but provinces that were given the same treatment as the Spaniards on the mainland...They mixed with the natives...Proof of it is the Dna carried by many islanders...There is a lot of disinformation about Spain and their provinces, NOT COLONIES...England had colonies, and the Dutch, French, Portuguese and others...Spain built the first three universities in the Americas almost 100 years before the first one in the USA, Havard in 1636...(…established by the Spaniards: the University of Santo Domingo (1538) in what is now the Dominican Republic and the University of Michoacán (1539) in Mexico.and in Lima, Perú)... and there were four more before the one in the USA...from 1551 to 1586 in Bolivia, another in Santo Domingo, Colombia, Ecuador, ...The Portuguese did not build any universities until 1912 and it was only one in Paraná...

My ancestry says I have family from here the original people and some things I learned is the people had orange shade skin and redish hair almost like the Celtic people crossed with different African peoples. But my ancestors on my mothers side were bred out of existence but some features I can see in my mom and myself alongside our Latin features but I’m half Swedish and straighten my hair to conform to European standards of beauty people said when I was young some I can’t remember when I’ve had natural hair my sister really looked like them from what I read and have seen after genetic reconstructions whereas my half Swedish shows heavily even having a Latino mother
Stop lying blond hahaha and they resembled Cro-Magnons sure bud.. Also, you forgot that Europeans had traded with them since before the foundation of Rome. Many Europeans permanently settled on the islands since the late middle ages. Let's not forget the bulk of them was not pale skin with blond hair either so stop lying to yourself. When Espinosa wrote his book it was century later after the invasion of Europeans. And the word rubia (blond) means many different things in old Spanish text. Btw western Europeans didn't have pale skin (white skin people) it was in low frequency in early farmers, but it spread in the bronze age. So light skin that we know in Western Europeans is very recent. Before this, all western Europeans had dark Skin so it would be impossible for Berbers to have light skin because the light skin DNA allele the SLC24A5 was introduced to East Africa from Europe around 5,000 yrs ago and spread with pastoralists from East Africa to others including San people, etc. Berbers are older than 5,000 yrs.
@@michaelcullen6375 It's all factual and I can easily prove it bud 👍🏼. Blond hair North Africans do not and never existed. Modern-day Berbers are not the same dark skin people that invaded Spain. Today's Iberian peninsula spain portugal has a high concentration of Berber, arab/Jewish DNA. If you see modern-day Berbers from Northern Morocco, Algeria with blond hair it's because of the Barbary slave trade and native Iberian converts that were kicked out of Spain/Portugal by the king and queen. Millions of white European women and men were sold into slavery in North Africa. Places like Morocco have a high European admixture on their mtDNA mother's side due to the recent migration of European women as slaves. Do research
That's not entirely true, during the first colonial invasions, the guanches were described as 14ft tall giants, black in colour and monstrous in appearance. Later, guanches were being described as mixed tanned and light demographics. Even later, descriptions of certain guanche figures were described as light skin/ light hair. From this, one could conclude that the lower ranking members exposed to the sun where tanned, and leaders who did not work the land seemed more fair skin. There hair course were a mix of dark to light, which is typical of North Africa in general. If you want to go further back, blonde hair originates from East Africa.
B.S. Spanish were not exterminators...The British were the biggest exterminators everywhere they went they left no one...In America, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and on and on...The Spanish did not colonized, they created cities, shared their culture, mixed with the people...They mixed with the Guanches...Many in the islands have their dna...The Guanches died of the diseases the Spaniards brought with them... This is the real history: "In the 15th century the Spanish conquered Tenerife along with the other Canary Islands. The Guanches put up a great fight, but one by one the islands fell to the conquistadors. After colonisation the Guanches gradually disappeared. (NOT TRUE) Many died of diseases that were introduced by the arrivals from mainland Europe" Many carry their Dna today...
My friend , i am history teacher , from Tenerife .You're wrong in many things about Guanches , my God !! Too bad , absolutely not idea .For example , you said that there were not resources , of course not iron but too much water , esential to live . The water actually is scarce because in the colonial , the spanish settlers made water conduction systems to provide to the new people settlements ( towns ) and for the harvest of foods .Tenerife was full of water .Look at the ravines, you could see the trace of the water run
Thanks for your comment. You’re right I’m not a historian. But like you I found their history absolutely fascinating!! Looking forward to see your RUclips movie on the subject with all the correct facts! Let me know when you have made one!

@swedes-abroad I think the point being made is much broader, Canarians are sick of being referred to as no longer existing when this is not the case, since we are the direct descendants. The guanche culture lives on in us, much in the same way as any other culture in a contemporary context. Constantly referring to a dead or extinct culture is very offensive, and only serves as validation for further exploitation. I notice alot of foreign perspectives projecting this negative way of describing our situation through the use of poor language. When infact one of the best way to understand how guanches once existed, would be to study the local people. I mean common, this was literally only a few hundred years back, and the last historically recognised guanche clan of Tenerife only disappeared in the late 1800's.
Let's be honest. These were (and should be today) islands belonging to Africa...They are just of the African coast.! Like many African lands, the islands were brutally taken from them...like the Americas....
not really. The Spaniards killed the Native Guanches. They were descended from North African peoples, but lived in a neolithic society not dissimilar to some Native Anericans. Now it is Spanish territory with Spanish traditions. So is life.
The Spanish conquest of the Canary Islands began in the early 15th century. Many natives were killed by the Spanish same as Israel doing to the native Palestinians at the moment or they died from exposure to new religion if they don't accept it

There are different accounts as to the looks of the Guanches. There are som “eye witnesses” that wrote down what they saw a very long time ago. And then we have the analyse of genetics that tell us another story.
