Borikua Taino Foundation

The Borikua Taíno Foundation is dedicated to helping Borikua Taíno preserve their unique cultural identity through traditional education, land preservation and the development of sustainable health programs that uplift our community.

Our collective dream is Borikua led community engagement and Indigenous Nation building that will live on after our spirits have returned to Coabey. Our indigenous traditions have always been a footnote in American history, yet indigenous Borikua culture permeates the global consciousness via our food, music, art and science. We want to decolonize the national understanding of Borikua heritage through revitalization and re-education of tribal ways in modernity. The lessons of our ancestral ways live on, and we must be willing to sow seeds of prosperity and protect our motherland from the vestiges of colonialism.
