You're sooo right. My father is.1/2 Carib. My paternal grandfather was Carib. I did my DNA and they couldn't find my Carib bloodline, but they sure found my 12%Portuguese blood. I feel twice cheated. My people are the natural ancestors of a land and I have no land. What a shame?
No you don't let me tell you something the Caribbean had the worst treatment of all slaves the Caribbean slaves were treated far worse and let me also note to you a lot of slaves were sold back and forth from the antebellum South to the islands rebellious they would send them to these foreign away from their whole entire family's they would send them to kuba Jamaica Panama St Croix St Trinidad antiqua Dominica Republic the Lee Ward Island there's so many islands that slaves had made up the full population of the people because they had got so greedy they started dominating the islands that were nothing there there was no habitat they made it habitat so you have a bunch of islands off the coast of the Atlantic and they made Islands literally put a lot of Africans on these islands and indigenous Africans as well as Indians and indigenous Indians and they had to make their own way they were just mainly there to migrate sugar tobacco and sugar back then was a whole lot of wealth you know so we don't forget it real historians people that are really into slave history never forget about the island ends for less the islands were the first places are people were brought to they were the first places that a lot of the slaves were brought to know we don't forget about the island and let me tell you something else all of the islands all makeup of pretty much the same DNA a lot of them especially the Hispanic Islands makeup for the same DNA you know there's a will Trinidad is a melting pot so there's a lot of different Indians they have him do as well as you know another tribe of Indians that they know but no certainly don't forgetand that's another issue that's what I talk about what I say our community and that's why they say we are the biggest drivers origin on the planet because of all of the islands all of the countries that we went to our cultures are music r&r everything somehow links like a puzzle it just all fits into one place however a lot of island people do not want to put their selves or phrase their selves as afro and America because they don't want to be depicted or they don't want to be racially antagonize so they stick with their cultural name of where they come from you know like Puerto Ricans we'll say we're proud Puerto Ricans but Puerto Rico is not a race it's not erase it's a cultureand that's the Dynamics of a lot of it because even within the communities of these different people because there was habitats of European Indian and afro origin they have a lot of racism as well and their communities all over the islands Jamaica Puerto Rico Panama Cuba Antigua Mexico you name it they have they deal with a lot of racism within their own community on their own Islands I don't forget about anybody because I know but Islands were small everybody is mixed with everything I don't care if your skin is white in your eyes are blue somehow your grandmother your mother is some dark lady or your father is dark I would never forget about my island people for they suffered the worst during the Atlantic slave trade peace my sister
Dominica🇩🇲 and St. Vincent and the Grenadines 🇻🇨 still have carib ethnic groups alive and well today, full blooded. Caribbean history is very rich and they're all more connected than they realize.
Yeah and the original people who lived in the Caribbean before your people got there also went through crap with your people who came and took over the land too stop trying to act like only Europeans came around and did things like this because it makes you sound pretty racist like the rest of the world is now who claim that everything was only done by Europeans
Everywhere they go, they cause separation and division. They’re literally taking over the world. I predict that in the next 2000 years, all cultures will be their rewritten history.
I’m from St.Croix we have Taino line from my grandmother side.. her mom from Puerto Rico was native blood line. Her dad traces back to Canary Islands of west Africa.. 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Beautiful stuff. I'm currently in Ethiopia chilling with my beautiful Ethiopian fiancé & my family DNA also comes from the canary Islands too with a lot of Taino blood as well. We have a lot of Congolese blood. Saludos fam.
@@caribbeantigress Your response has a lot of that spainard atypical hate in it. What makes you think that the Canary Islands always belonged to spain or those that look like modern day puerto ricans or was tied to them and not of the original people of the African continent. Spainards didn't know how to sail until about the 1400s so yes, the canaries could have been populated with folks from the African continent and also DO NOT confuse the folks that dominate the northern portion of Africa today as the original inhabitants. they are invaders and not original to that land as well. Just like every continent and land before including Spain it was the home of dark-skinned people. Remember that!
So sad. I thought it only happened to us. As I get older I see you can take a native persons land & identity by changing their names. Simply slap your name on the land and the nation of people will disappear. 😢
Fun fact : there’s actually a ancient large idol founded in a cave in eastern Cuba called the “idol of patana” which was used by the Cuban taínos to understand the universe and cosmology
Cuba was also the only island which had a group of natives, that were distinctly different from the other natives found in the other island (which were also on Cuba). I believe they were a sub-Taino tribe, unlike those found elsewhere.
My parents are both from Puerto Rico born and raised and just within our families we have quite a variety of complexions from dark to light everything in between 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Really fascinating. I'd argue this is the region of the americas that's least talked about in terms of pre-european contact. We discuss so little about them and yet they're so fascinating
The fact that the island of Dominica NOT the Dominican Republic, but DOMINICA is not mentioned here makes me questions the depth of the research conducted. It is the only island in the Eastern Caribbean where the Kalinagos (Caribs) still exist.
Tainos and caribis are NOT the same, yes they are both arawak people but different tribes. As a matter of fact they were enemies as the tainos informed the spaniard who arrived with colombus that they would kidnap taino women. They were also known for practicing cannibalism.
I am so thankful for RUclips creators like this! You guys put in so much work to pull all this together in one place... The respect I have for putting sources into a video that is still fascinating knowing how much work that is just really makes me happy to watch. Thank you! Instant sub!
You realize pretty much a half of the stuff this guy says in this video is not even really true like one of the biggest main issues with this video is this guy literally keeps on claiming Columbus found the Americas and he never stepped foot in the Americas he found a Caribbean nothing this guy says is factual Don't believe anything this guy says especially when he's tossing around lies about how Columbus found the Americas
Caribbean people ascended from the Olmecs, Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, Arawaks, Caribs and a host of others who ventured north from South America, long before any of those eastern colonisers knew of the area. There is, to date, a large Carib population living in Dominica and other islands in that area. The name Caribbean was named after those Caribs who inhabited large parts of the area...just saying
YOU ARE RIGHT THERE ARE MANY CARRIBS LIVING IN MY COUNTRY AND FAR AS I KNOW THERE WHERE TRIBES NAMED ARAWAKS BUT THE BLACK PEOPLE STAYED AWY FROM THEM BEFORE THEY WERE PUT AWAY IN RASERVATIONS LIKE THE AMERICAN INDIANS BUT CARIB HAD DIFFERENT FITURES MORE LIKE THE JAPANESE I ONLY EVER SAW ONE AFTER TWENTY YEARS WHEN ONE BROUGHT BARRELS OF ALCHOHOL IN MY FATHERS RUM BAR BUT NOW THE NEW LEADER OF THAT COUNTRY AFTER THE LAST HURRICANE WRECKED ALL THEIR HOME THEY WERE PUT INTO ANOTHER LOCATION
The island of Dominica, named Waitikubuli by the Kalinagos (previously named the Caribs), has the only existing group of natives in the Caribbean. They were said to have been fiercer than the other native Indians, and since Dominica is very mountainous, they were able to thrive there. It is important to note that there was also a group of Arawaks on the island as well, by it was said that they were not as fierce as the Kalinagos to stand up against the invasions of the Europeans and so they died out. Today, they mostly live in an area called the Kalinago Territory, on the eastern part of the island. My great-great-grand mother was Kalinago.
@@a-gamemorethanacrossover9524 lol the night is young, my friend. The night is young. The white man, for the 5000 or so years he has had on Earth, has been cursed in so many tongues, even the Earth Herself is angry at you. So let’s watch this space…
@@a-gamemorethanacrossover9524 hermano your island Rich Port didn't even put up a resistance. The smaller Islands put up more of an resistance. Arawak no papa Carib Garifuna
I am Dominican and my family on my mother's side is from some unique mountains in my northern part, where the people of that town have studied and go out with Taino ADN. My mother is an Indian with straight hair and light honey-colored eyes and my father was a white mulatto.
@@shay5839 yes the mestizos carry the blood and also why did you include Honduras??? The largest tribe in Honduras are the lencas, the oceans is also our land, if you are talking about the garífunas well they don’t belong here but came here, and they are mixed with the Taino people but it’s only so little, there language tho are Taino with a few African words mixed in there as well, there also more west African looking then Arawaks they can only speak the language which is mostly Africans and Arawaks mixed!
@@williammoreno-pp1og Originally natives and west africans looked identical this is why in all the spanish text books of those times they are all called Negro de terres or negro de angola. This is how the spanish described the ppl from two diff sides of the world that looked the same. The lie that native ppl look similar or even close to european/asian folks will die out with education lol
About 2,500-3,000 years ago, farmers and potters related to the Arawak-speakers of northeast of actual Venezuela established a second pathway into the Caribbean. Using the delta fingers of Orinoco River Basin like highways, they travelled from the interior to coastal Venezuela and pushed north into the Antilles islands of the Caribbean Sea, settling Puerto Rico and eventually moving westward. Their arrival ushered in the region’s Ceramic Age, marked by agriculture and the widespread production and use of pottery. Over time, nearly all genetic traces of Archaic Age people vanished, except for a holdout community in western Cuba that persisted as late as European arrival. Intermarriage between the two groups was rare, with only three individuals in the study showing mixed ancestry. Many present-day Cubans, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans are the descendants of ancient people from Venezuela , as well as European immigrants and enslaved Africans. But researchers noted only marginal evidence of Archaic Age ancestry in modern individuals.
honestly i think 140 blood samples from ppl is insufficient to determine ancestry in the Caribbean. reason being that after the Spanish killing huge populations of the natives they went into hiding on the most densely forested areas of their islands. so, if scientist really wanted to get dna from their descendants they would have to go to the center of each island. furthermore they will also need to test more than 100 ppl in each island (the same number of ppl for each island).
Honey do u even understand how few full blooded nativw caribbean people even remain? The Spanish committed genocide, do you understand the implication of that word? Its a miracl3 to even find 100 these days, it must have taken a lot of work! Nowadays, thenpopulations are coming back, though most caribbean people today have native ancestry, its usually less than 30%.
Ayiti was named by Arawaks and Tainos from the island which meant "Land of Mountains", there were millions living there, not just a quarter of millions, if you count all the people living in mountains and caves
The narrative of Columbus is greatly overstated - check what present day historians are now saying about him - his infamous name was actually a sudonym - he was born in Portugal and not Italy as incorrectly believed. His prominence in world history was established by nothing less than academic dishonesty and laziness, by an older generation of older historians.
I always felt like i were missing a puzzle of my history and caribbean roots, after watching this video it now make sense what i was missing about my history. I'm from aruba🇦🇼 but mixed with sint maarten🇸🇽 and bonaire🇧🇶
This report is incomplete if you do not do genetic and artifact research of Carib peoples in Dominica and St.Vincent and the Grenadines. These Islands have some of the largest populations of the original Kalinago to date.
Maybe that’s why all my family that originated from Ecuador is married with people from the Caribbean like Puerto Rican’s, Dominicans. It’s funny because I know so many South Americans that are mixed with people from the Caribbean.
Facts Most of the Caribbean is mixed in their ethnicities. My great grandparents were black, Indian and caucasian. I am sure I am not unique in Barbados as are other Caribbean diaspora peoples.
Obviously! Spanish (and Portuguese) were already a mix of ethnicities when they first got to South America 1492-1500. In 1480 Portugal got to West Africa for the 1st time by Diogo Cão establishing cities and trade ports to the south that would trade mostly gold, ivory and slaves. In 1496-98 Portugal was the 1st to sail from Europe to India around Africa's Coast by Vasco da Gama. Establishing trade routes between Europe and Asia that would be used by a lot of European Empires for centuries. Portugal traded with India, Japan and China. That's how Goa (India) was a Portuguese Colony and Macau (China) too. Portuguese and Spanish were once the same kingdom before the Age of Discovery (15th-17th). And before the existance of both Kingdoms the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal+Spain) was inhabited by Phoenicians, Carthaginians (Berbers from North Africa), Celts, Celtiberians, Iberians, Visigoths. Plus the Roman and the Muslim Moors invasions that took centuries resulted in a big mix of ethnicities. Those afterwards mingled with African Slaves and Indigenous in South America giving birth to "Latinos" and "Mulatos". You should see a video here called "Latinos take DNA test" and its review videos. They all have traces from Europe, Africa, Middle-East, Asia... beside Indigenous DNA from the several South American Territories.
We got our own resources and yet we’re only mentioned in the Olympics every other “major” island seem to have grandeur props and “we’re” the 2-3 richest islands T and T and the surrounding islands I guess we lesser Grenadines 😂
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
You must take into account La Hueca Culture found in the Island of Vieques wich is linked to the Andes with zoomorphic artefacts wich resembles a Cóndor. Also there is a arquelogical finding of a human in a cave in Puerto Rico which dates back 6,000 years. Interestingly at the time a specie of sloth lived in Puerto Rico.
Ecuador flag has a condor.! Plus for some reason my whole family is mixed with people from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and Dominican Republic 🇩🇴. I guess we are trying subconsciously to get back to our roots.! Lol 😂
Born Boricua in Mayaguez, (West Coast of PR.) Because of my father's name, Bonano , I found out I have Siciliano blood in me. My mom's is Spanish. Most of my family is white but not European except for my grandparents from my father side who looks very Italians. My father's father was born in the Island of Vieques, I'm not so sure about my grandmother. Vieques is one of the only two island with considerable population (about several thousands) that are managed by the Puerto Rican government. The other one is Culebra which is smaller, both of them in the east coast PR.
@@robertobonano6930 you know 80 percent of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Mestizo is = (Native American & European) even if you look white your still Mestizo. My father is from Ecuador and my father is White he took a DNA test and he got 80% Basque and 20 % Native Americans. Basque are the Original white people that settled Western Europe if you don’t believe me research it.
@@orlandovelastegui1391 I done my fair share of research. I'm proud of my Taino bloodline in me. I'm Not European white but a lot people here in America can't guess I'm Puerto Rican. Most be my Siciliano blood. I'm fine with who I am. 😁😏 It is well documented the actions of the European nations in the whole Americas and to that matter the whole world. Peace Brother 😊
@@robertobonano6930 actually I’m Native American, Basque(Spain), African. In my family because none of us look African we always exclude Africa from our heritage. When someone ask me what is my race I tell them I’m European, Native American and African. My African comes from my moms father that was half European and half African.
As a man from Jamaica said I am so sad of water today people of the Caribbean Jamaica as honor them by placing them on their dollar and Court of arms All over the world we have seen Europeans conquer the entire world that's why when we are weak we will not be able to stand
While the Caribbean has such great current culture. It's also sad that It was basically wiped clean of its original inhabitants. The Caribbean is known mostly for people of afro descent, which was a result of colonism and slavery we never think of the original natives
We? That depends where you are from. In st Vincent and the grenadines, their only national hero was a Carib Chief. The carib culture is still very much alive there.
I really like the documentary but like many other people said, it is missing a lot of key points. It would have been nice to also cover the origins of the caribes in venezuela and Colombia. Their descendants are still alive and speak variations of the original language. Which is also very different to the other languages families in the areas. The came from the Caribbean and settled in the mainland around the coastal and river areas but didn't not venture too far inland
Study of antiquity you need to do a wider study and include alot more islands in caribbean because some of the native people just migrated to other islands.
😂cause this foreigner slave trade theory or stories never happened. there no real documentation ,just stupid paints , cartoon and movies for our imagination 😂
My great great grandmother was from the Caribe tribe she lived in trinidad after being born in venezuela she stayed in la pastora then hololo and passed away at 109 yrs old from natural causes ❤
Well the guys thier where more focused on gold and getting rich than looking into the population and thier history, and they quickly decimated the population on top of that.
@@kingzod8536 Dude you're confusing yourself. Yes he was focus on gold, and yes they decimated the population. But what does that have to do with what they saw; as opposed to guys, hundreds of years later who are just extrapolating. Follow Scientists and they're constantly changing figures; because it's all about educated guessing .
@@bysonchi they weren't worried about what they saw, they weren't worried about knowing the people they are decimating or thier history. They just went thier and started to subjugate and enslave the native population, that's what happened and why they were off about the history of/ different types of natives that lived thier.
@@westindians882 If my people call themselves by that name I call myself the same. When the day comes that they decide to change from that name to another, I will do so too. But as of today I am who I say and my people say that I am. You don't know me.

Stop using Columbus as a context for historical events - there were and have been explorers that preceeded him. In terms of travel he was one of but certainly not the first. Contemporary historical research has begun to firmly establish that.
How is this new information regarding the origin of my ancestors? I’m almost 50 years old and that was common knowledge before I was born. And why are they concentrating on the northern islands. The last strongholds of living Caribs are on St. Vincent and Dominica (not the DR). There needs to be a more complete investigation including all islands. In SVG there are shell tools found below the strata that contain stone tools and pre ceramic.
I’m sure it was even more beautiful when people were still using natural materials to build homes and weave clothes, and before so many trees had been cut down to accommodate concrete structures and paved roads. But it would have been WAY more terrifying to live through hurricanes without steel beams in concrete stabilizing your house.
Centuries ago, dwellings were considered expendable in the face of hurricanes. Shallow pits were dug where women and children could shelter; weighted materials such as banana, fronds were tied down with rope made from the maguey plant. The most important aspect of surviving hurricanes was the ability to read the atmospheric signs as well as the behavior of birds. Yes, there were lots of fatalities; my maternal great grandparents died in San Ciriaco in 1899, and my mother vividly detailed what it was like prior to San Felipe making landfall in 1928. Hurricane María shows us that concrete structures barely fair better when a category 4 or 5 hit. One big difference in the past was that islands were less dependent for food because importation was minimal before 1898.
It looked that absolute dogshit. Go build yourself a dwelling out of shrubs, rocks, and mud. See how ‘beautiful’ it comes out looking and how comfortable you feel with zero insulation, structural foundation or furnishings.
@@thebrocialist8300 I'm from the hurricane belt of the Caribe and "mud and shrubs" are not building materials. Wood structures and insulation in the Caribe has never been done because there is zero need to insulate a wood house; what is important is a pitched roof (dos o tres aguas); elevation above the ground and distance between dwellings. There are quite a few books on the topic; check them out, if you read Spanish.
Bamboo is s strong as steel, but will bend and sway in the wind without breaking, unlike steel beams cladded with concrete that will break and crumble in an earthquake or very strong winds. Many indigenous people build their homes and accompanying structures with bamboo, and other hardwood that is naturally pest resistant, like Mora wood, or Bay wood.
@@thebrocialist8300 skimming through the comments I knew without looking that this brocialist dude wouldn't be able to resist putting in his two cents here. Ugly toxic troll. High as fuck on smugness. OP is right though the indigenous aesthetic of natural building materials would have been a beautiful thing to see. We should all get back to wattle and dob.
No reference to Professor Basil Reid? Who's done expansive studies on the different migratory groups in the Caribbean? And no mention of the Banwari Man, who is possibly the oldest known remains in the entire Caribbean?
Know what’s interesting, we in the Caribbean are proud of even the slightest of native blood from the Tainos. Yet in the main land of Mexico, central and South America where you can still find many traces of the native population ( 100% in some cases) care more for their European ancestry then native
As Puertorican, our history is widely hidden. I traced back to my great grandparents who came from Spain (Great Canary Islands). Furthermore apart from Spaniards descendants, Puerto Rico has, Corcega, Irish, India, French. People think that we have specifically 3 races, we don't. 🎉
@@wendys5314 The majority of Cubans don't have Native in their DNA, and even if you get on your DNA test a variety of heritages, doesn't mean you have it in your blood, for example, the DNA company MyHeritage will give you lets say, a native DNA in your DNA results, it doesn't mean you have native or black in you, it can be the result of a 3rd, 4th or 5th cousin which has your "Blood line, let say your third great grandfather" which had sex with a native or black African, that cousin has your DNA do to because of your third great grandfather, not that you have native or black blood. The majority of the people, I would say more than 90% don't understand nor know how to read family lineage DNA results.
So interesting. The vessel on the top right at 5:16 has that same riparian pattern as the vessels the Hungarian discussed in your video on origins of the Minoans, too.

@Etruscans civilization that is not historically accurate. They were dark skinned people. There is no DNA evidence to support this. Though it is true that modern so called Chaldeans were not the ancient Chaldeans. It has been speculated that the southern Mesopotamians were Black, and I have no doubt they had dark skin, but they had their own identity and likely amalgamated with other mid-east and and North African populations.
No one gives a shit about modern Middle Eastern demographics. They are all are tainted with different ratios of Arabid and Sub-Saharan admixture today. 🤠
@Etruscans civilization Lmao so glad the Afrocentric lunatics have already jumped in to the conversation. Etruscans all looked like Gorge Floyd n shit - the Vikings 2! Didn’t u know that??
It has been proven that under the Amazon lay massive fields of corn. The Olmecs genetically engineered the corn. It means too that it provided food for a much greater population than previously thought
A new paper studying ancient DNA from the Caribbean, posted this week on bioRxiv, explains that the Caribbean has one of the most culturally diverse mixes of human beings on the planet, but it was one of the last places in the Americas to be occupied by people between 8000 and 5000 years ago. Where these early migrants came from has always been a mystery until this study of ancient DNA probed into the deep history of the Caribbean and the story discovered by the researchers is one of “migration and cultural mingling” revealing how descendants of the first inhabitants interacted with new waves of migrants who arrived about 2800 years ago.
My family came from the islands that are to the southwest of the main Caribbean islands closer to Honduras and specifically from the island of Utila mainly. They really lived all over but most of the time was on that island. I'm so interested in learning some of the history of specifically the islands near utila known as the bay Islands. It would be so awesome if you did a video on that
On the East coast of Saint Lucia 🇱🇨 has remnants of old Native civilizations. Was named Iyanola by the natives. Recorded as a place of refuge for fleeing natives from colonization imperative. Area was referred to as the Free peoples quarter during colonization and Kalinago or Caribs, Mixed, peoples, free people and People who gad runaway from Enslavement. Markers are present in artifacts, structures, customs like Kassava flour, sweet potatoes, basket weaving, dug-out canoes, words with (ou) like Manikou, Agouti, Zandolie etc. It is said that they decided to leave on the west coast of the island where the rougher seas of the Atlantic made it difficult for the large European ships to navigate. The mountainous regions had poisonous snakes, scorpions, centipedes, mosquitoes, etc. Colonizers were recorded as calling it some of the most inhospitable environments for settlers.
Yes, I have 19 different peoples in my DNA. A mosaic , easily explained by the location of Puerto Rico, the first stop from old to new world. It totally agrees with your video.
Also La Florida has its own Culture thanks to them the taíno timucua. Well being said, the Spanish and the Taíno Timucuas would intermix with each other thus creating La Florida's culture. This hispanic race and culture can be found in the reservation in the everglades in Florida. It's evident that the US wants to wipe out La Florida's culture and language. Even better said, San Agustín should be the Capital of FL not Tallahassee. The US government did this so that they could implement and say that FL is not hispanic and that they dont have a hispanic culture. For crying out loud La Florida even has its own spanish dialect thanks to them!
The tainos probably traded with the mayans and other central American natives. They probably spoke ancient hebrew to each other that the white man doesnt wanna reveal the truth about just like they found ancient stone artifacts in the Americas with ancient paleo Hebrew writing on it and also in puerto rico theres done small pyramids on the island covered up by foliage or destroyed and el yunque f ou rest these probably something hiding in those woods that'll reveal the tainos and mayans were connected but they ain't gonna say the truth about it cause then the history the white man fabricated will be exposed as a big lie.
The island is called Ayiti (Haiti), Quisqueya or Boyo meaning Land of Mountains or some sort of variation. Haiti was the name given by the Tainos , the original inhabitants of the island. Hispaniola means little Spain, and we are not little Spaniards.
Lmao How u claiming my race & calling it wrong? Taino is a city in Italy, not a race or tribe. I'm over 50% Indio aka that taInO ur talking about. Did google & a mongoloid woman on RUclips tell u that or did ur elders? Ik for a fact RUclips did. Ur not saying anything meaningful, factual or important. U can't speak for a race that doesn't even exist, just like u can't false claim and indigenous group when ur not even 15% & u have no knowledge on it. Referring to a indigenous group of people as an Italian City just like the colonizer.
Why is it a surprise that Columbus exaggerated everything???! He had to explain himself and justify his adventures-very costly-to the Spanish royals who financed him. There was no way the Spanish could have known the truth. Do he books hsve said anything he wanted.

The Caribbean islanders are blessed with a rich history that was truly affected by contact from the Europeans.
Yeah and the original people who lived in the Caribbean before your people got there also went through crap with your people who came and took over the land too stop trying to act like only Europeans came around and did things like this because it makes you sound pretty racist like the rest of the world is now who claim that everything was only done by Europeans

What race was the Tainos?
@@caribbeantigress Your response has a lot of that spainard atypical hate in it. What makes you think that the Canary Islands always belonged to spain or those that look like modern day puerto ricans or was tied to them and not of the original people of the African continent. Spainards didn't know how to sail until about the 1400s so yes, the canaries could have been populated with folks from the African continent and also DO NOT confuse the folks that dominate the northern portion of Africa today as the original inhabitants. they are invaders and not original to that land as well. Just like every continent and land before including Spain it was the home of dark-skinned people. Remember that!

Put up a link if there is a video on it.
Cuba was also the only island which had a group of natives, that were distinctly different from the other natives found in the other island (which were also on Cuba). I believe they were a sub-Taino tribe, unlike those found elsewhere.

Exactly.
What are you talkin about bro we were also bro Matter of fact there's over twenty different tribes of Indians from my country Trinidad and Tobago.
Tainos and caribis are NOT the same, yes they are both arawak people but different tribes. As a matter of fact they were enemies as the tainos informed the spaniard who arrived with colombus that they would kidnap taino women. They were also known for practicing cannibalism.

Caribbean people ascended from the Olmecs, Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, Arawaks, Caribs and a host of others who ventured north from South America, long before any of those eastern colonisers knew of the area. There is, to date, a large Carib population living in Dominica and other islands in that area. The name Caribbean was named after those Caribs who inhabited large parts of the area...just saying

The island of Dominica, named Waitikubuli by the Kalinagos (previously named the Caribs), has the only existing group of natives in the Caribbean. They were said to have been fiercer than the other native Indians, and since Dominica is very mountainous, they were able to thrive there. It is important to note that there was also a group of Arawaks on the island as well, by it was said that they were not as fierce as the Kalinagos to stand up against the invasions of the Europeans and so they died out. Today, they mostly live in an area called the Kalinago Territory, on the eastern part of the island. My great-great-grand mother was Kalinago.
None of them stood against the Europeans for long 😂😂😂. So, not fierce enough.

Another fascinating post from y’all. Thanks and keep up the great work!
About 2,500-3,000 years ago, farmers and potters related to the Arawak-speakers of northeast of actual Venezuela established a second pathway into the Caribbean. Using the delta fingers of Orinoco River Basin like highways, they travelled from the interior to coastal Venezuela and pushed north into the Antilles islands of the Caribbean Sea, settling Puerto Rico and eventually moving westward. Their arrival ushered in the region’s Ceramic Age, marked by agriculture and the widespread production and use of pottery.
Over time, nearly all genetic traces of Archaic Age people vanished, except for a holdout community in western Cuba that persisted as late as European arrival. Intermarriage between the two groups was rare, with only three individuals in the study showing mixed ancestry.
Many present-day Cubans, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans are the descendants of ancient people from Venezuela , as well as European immigrants and enslaved Africans. But researchers noted only marginal evidence of Archaic Age ancestry in modern individuals.
honestly i think 140 blood samples from ppl is insufficient to determine ancestry in the Caribbean. reason being that after the Spanish killing huge populations of the natives they went into hiding on the most densely forested areas of their islands. so, if scientist really wanted to get dna from their descendants they would have to go to the center of each island. furthermore they will also need to test more than 100 ppl in each island (the same number of ppl for each island).
Are you a scientist now to question the methods ?
@@efrainrondon5753 worst I'm a college student.
@@efrainrondon5753 it’s reasonable to say the sample size was too small when Puerto Rico, alone, has a population of +3 million
Honey do u even understand how few full blooded nativw caribbean people even remain? The Spanish committed genocide, do you understand the implication of that word? Its a miracl3 to even find 100 these days, it must have taken a lot of work! Nowadays, thenpopulations are coming back, though most caribbean people today have native ancestry, its usually less than 30%.

The narrative of Columbus is greatly overstated - check what present day historians are now saying about him - his infamous name was actually a sudonym - he was born in Portugal and not Italy as incorrectly believed. His prominence in world history was established by nothing less than academic dishonesty and laziness, by an older generation of older historians.

This report is incomplete if you do not do genetic and artifact research of Carib peoples in Dominica and St.Vincent and the Grenadines. These Islands have some of the largest populations of the original Kalinago to date.
Yes specifically the Garifuna people. They were also moved to Belize and Honduras.
Maybe that’s why all my family that originated from Ecuador is married with people from the Caribbean like Puerto Rican’s, Dominicans. It’s funny because I know so many South Americans that are mixed with people from the Caribbean.

Facts
Most of the Caribbean is mixed in their ethnicities. My great grandparents were black, Indian and caucasian. I am sure I am not unique in Barbados as are other Caribbean diaspora peoples.
The original tianos an awarks are black. The arawak tribe is the grandfather of my tribe i am creek / yamasee american indian and i am black
Obviously! Spanish (and Portuguese) were already a mix of ethnicities when they first got to South America 1492-1500. In 1480 Portugal got to West Africa for the 1st time by Diogo Cão establishing cities and trade ports to the south that would trade mostly gold, ivory and slaves. In 1496-98 Portugal was the 1st to sail from Europe to India around Africa's Coast by Vasco da Gama. Establishing trade routes between Europe and Asia that would be used by a lot of European Empires for centuries. Portugal traded with India, Japan and China. That's how Goa (India) was a Portuguese Colony and Macau (China) too. Portuguese and Spanish were once the same kingdom before the Age of Discovery (15th-17th). And before the existance of both Kingdoms the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal+Spain) was inhabited by Phoenicians, Carthaginians (Berbers from North Africa), Celts, Celtiberians, Iberians, Visigoths. Plus the Roman and the Muslim Moors invasions that took centuries resulted in a big mix of ethnicities. Those afterwards mingled with African Slaves and Indigenous in South America giving birth to "Latinos" and "Mulatos". You should see a video here called "Latinos take DNA test" and its review videos. They all have traces from Europe, Africa, Middle-East, Asia... beside Indigenous DNA from the several South American Territories.

Interesting, but I would have love more details on the dna and haplogroups.
It is amazing what DNA reveals about our past
I’m sure it was even more beautiful when people were still using natural materials to build homes and weave clothes, and before so many trees had been cut down to accommodate concrete structures and paved roads. But it would have been WAY more terrifying to live through hurricanes without steel beams in concrete stabilizing your house.
Centuries ago, dwellings were considered expendable in the face of hurricanes. Shallow pits were dug where women and children could shelter; weighted materials such as banana, fronds were tied down with rope made from the maguey plant. The most important aspect of surviving hurricanes was the ability to read the atmospheric signs as well as the behavior of birds. Yes, there were lots of fatalities; my maternal great grandparents died in San Ciriaco in 1899, and my mother vividly detailed what it was like prior to San Felipe making landfall in 1928. Hurricane María shows us that concrete structures barely fair better when a category 4 or 5 hit. One big difference in the past was that islands were less dependent for food because importation was minimal before 1898.
It looked that absolute dogshit. Go build yourself a dwelling out of shrubs, rocks, and mud. See how ‘beautiful’ it comes out looking and how comfortable you feel with zero insulation, structural foundation or furnishings.
@@thebrocialist8300 I'm from the hurricane belt of the Caribe and "mud and shrubs" are not building materials. Wood structures and insulation in the Caribe has never been done because there is zero need to insulate a wood house; what is important is a pitched roof (dos o tres aguas); elevation above the ground and distance between dwellings. There are quite a few books on the topic; check them out, if you read Spanish.
Bamboo is s strong as steel, but will bend and sway in the wind without breaking, unlike steel beams cladded with concrete that will break and crumble in an earthquake or very strong winds.
Many indigenous people build their homes and accompanying structures with bamboo, and other hardwood that is naturally pest resistant, like Mora wood, or Bay wood.
@@thebrocialist8300 skimming through the comments I knew without looking that this brocialist dude wouldn't be able to resist putting in his two cents here. Ugly toxic troll. High as fuck on smugness. OP is right though the indigenous aesthetic of natural building materials would have been a beautiful thing to see. We should all get back to wattle and dob.

Yet in the main land of Mexico, central and South America where you can still find many traces of the native population ( 100% in some cases) care more for their European ancestry then native
Because being European has been taught to us as better, there is a large socio economic gap between the groups

And White. My family's been in Cuba for 600 years. My DNA is
100% Western Europe.
@@Earthbound369no indigenous? Thats strange. I haven't seen anyone with 100% of anything.
@@wendys5314 The majority of Cubans don't have Native in their DNA, and even if you get on your DNA test a variety of heritages, doesn't mean you have it in your blood, for example, the DNA company MyHeritage will give you lets say, a native DNA in your DNA results, it doesn't mean you have native or black in you, it can be the result of a 3rd, 4th or 5th cousin which has your "Blood line, let say your third great grandfather" which had sex with a native or black African, that cousin has your DNA do to because of your third great grandfather, not that you have native or black blood. The majority of the people, I would say more than 90% don't understand nor know how to read family lineage DNA results.

So interesting. The vessel on the top right at 5:16 has that same riparian pattern as the vessels the Hungarian discussed in your video on origins of the Minoans, too.
Read more recorded 1st person accounts people. Study family oral tradition. Gather various viewpoints and facts. Do research. Don't just wait for others to postulate who you are.
Facts
this is fascinating
You are not popping up on my feed. I have to go to your channel to watch.
I dont mind going out if my way for this channel, however, I'm four days late.
Any updates on a potential study of modern and ancient Assyrian/Chaldean/Syriac DNA?
@Etruscans civilization that is not historically accurate. They were dark skinned people. There is no DNA evidence to support this.
Though it is true that modern so called Chaldeans were not the ancient Chaldeans.
It has been speculated that the southern Mesopotamians were Black, and I have no doubt they had dark skin, but they had their own identity and likely amalgamated with other mid-east and and North African populations.
@Etruscans civilization Are Indians black or do they have their own identity? They are very dark skinned people.
No one gives a shit about modern Middle Eastern demographics. They are all are tainted with different ratios of Arabid and Sub-Saharan admixture today. 🤠
@Etruscans civilization Lmao so glad the Afrocentric lunatics have already jumped in to the conversation. Etruscans all looked like Gorge Floyd n shit - the Vikings 2! Didn’t u know that??
@@thebrocialist8300 your comment mentioning George Floyd is more problematic than anything I have read here. It is quite racist actually.
One love!! 🖤 #Blacklove 🇭🇹🇭🇹
It has been proven that under the Amazon lay massive fields of corn. The Olmecs genetically engineered the corn. It means too that it provided food for a much greater population than previously thought
Watching from Curaçao🇨🇼
Im Caribbean and Im 7% Taino/Arawak ........Shout out to Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba and Jamaica and the whole Caribe ....
A new paper studying ancient DNA from the Caribbean, posted this week on bioRxiv, explains that the Caribbean has one of the most culturally diverse mixes of human beings on the planet, but it was one of the last places in the Americas to be occupied by people between 8000 and 5000 years ago. Where these early migrants came from has always been a mystery until this study of ancient DNA probed into the deep history of the Caribbean and the story discovered by the researchers is one of “migration and cultural mingling” revealing how descendants of the first inhabitants interacted with new waves of migrants who arrived about 2800 years ago.
Tell the robbers to show the antiquities they stole and you’d know how advance they were
😂😂 facts
My family came from the islands that are to the southwest of the main Caribbean islands closer to Honduras and specifically from the island of Utila mainly. They really lived all over but most of the time was on that island. I'm so interested in learning some of the history of specifically the islands near utila known as the bay Islands. It would be so awesome if you did a video on that
On the East coast of Saint Lucia 🇱🇨 has remnants of old Native civilizations. Was named Iyanola by the natives. Recorded as a place of refuge for fleeing natives from colonization imperative. Area was referred to as the Free peoples quarter during colonization and Kalinago or Caribs, Mixed, peoples, free people and People who gad runaway from Enslavement. Markers are present in artifacts, structures, customs like Kassava flour, sweet potatoes, basket weaving, dug-out canoes, words with (ou) like Manikou, Agouti, Zandolie etc. It is said that they decided to leave on the west coast of the island where the rougher seas of the Atlantic made it difficult for the large European ships to navigate. The mountainous regions had poisonous snakes, scorpions, centipedes, mosquitoes, etc. Colonizers were recorded as calling it some of the most inhospitable environments for settlers.
They are still about in St Lucia. Choiseul.
Good video
Yes, I have 19 different peoples in my DNA. A mosaic , easily explained by the location of Puerto Rico, the first stop from old to new world. It totally agrees with your video.
Why are you showing White Washed pictures? The Carib/Tainio People were dark ethnic
Our ancestors were building pyramids and starforts. His-story omits all these advancements
Watching from Belize central america I'm from and we're considered a Caribbean country and we're a commonwealth nation also!!✌🏽🙏🌎🇧🇿
How do you explain the Garifuna People of ST.VIncent? Lol
The oppressors lied about our history
The garífunas are descendants from enslaved Africans
They are a mix of arawaks and africans from west africa that were brought due to slavetrade.
And few other islands also.
We always quiet with it.
I was born in St Martin and so was most of my family. I have no idea what my dna says about me and I’m too poor to afford a test :(
If they came by boats and reached the inner carribean they must have also reached Florida 🦩
Yes they did
They Did
Also La Florida has its own Culture thanks to them the taíno timucua. Well being said, the Spanish and the Taíno Timucuas would intermix with each other thus creating La Florida's culture. This hispanic race and culture can be found in the reservation in the everglades in Florida. It's evident that the US wants to wipe out La Florida's culture and language. Even better said, San Agustín should be the Capital of FL not Tallahassee. The US government did this so that they could implement and say that FL is not hispanic and that they dont have a hispanic culture. For crying out loud La Florida even has its own spanish dialect thanks to them!
The tainos probably traded with the mayans and other central American natives. They probably spoke ancient hebrew to each other that the white man doesnt wanna reveal the truth about just like they found ancient stone artifacts in the Americas with ancient paleo Hebrew writing on it and also in puerto rico theres done small pyramids on the island covered up by foliage or destroyed and el yunque f ou rest these probably something hiding in those woods that'll reveal the tainos and mayans were connected but they ain't gonna say the truth about it cause then the history the white man fabricated will be exposed as a big lie.
The island is called Ayiti (Haiti), Quisqueya or Boyo meaning Land of Mountains or some sort of variation. Haiti was the name given by the Tainos , the original inhabitants of the island.
Hispaniola means little Spain, and we are not little Spaniards.
R.I.P Anacaona
On behalf of us Tainos...
You're Welcome for the word BBQ.Barbecue = Barbacoa😉
I use barbacoa all the time in Spanish
And huracan aka hurricane, hamaca aka hammock and other words too.
Lmao How u claiming my race & calling it wrong? Taino is a city in Italy, not a race or tribe.
I'm over 50% Indio aka that taInO ur talking about.
Did google & a mongoloid woman on RUclips tell u that or did ur elders? Ik for a fact RUclips did. Ur not saying anything meaningful, factual or important.
U can't speak for a race that doesn't even exist, just like u can't false claim and indigenous group when ur not even 15% & u have no knowledge on it. Referring to a indigenous group of people as an Italian City just like the colonizer.
Lol anglos calling themselves Tainos 😂
@@emanueldelacruz1101 mixed people exist.
Why is it a surprise that Columbus exaggerated everything???! He had to explain himself and justify his adventures-very costly-to the Spanish royals who financed him. There was no way the Spanish could have known the truth. Do he books hsve said anything he wanted.
