Arawak Taino Tribe of Puerto Rico

We are a dynamic family with an ancient heritage. As Taino people we strive to live up to the name Taino which means Good or Noble People. We instill this in our children and walk it out in our daily lives. As a result we have one of the most active Yucayekes in the Taino diaspora. We believe in giving back to our communities and to one another through service projects and to our fellow Taino brothers and sister we reach out to you so that you may awaken the Taino in you which has been kept silent for so long. Guakia Taino Yahabo -Our Taino People Are Still Here!

Project 2. Haguar Warrior Society Supports the 65th Infantry Regiment's Bill for Recognition

​

The Haguar Warrior Society is proud to be an official partner with the Borinqueneers Congressional Gold Medal Alliance. We fully support the official recognition of the 65th Infantry Regiment with a Congressional Gold Medal for their outstanding service and heroism in battle during the Korean war. The Borinqueneers were the only segregrated unit from the island of Puerto Rico who led the largest battlion sized bayonet charge in US Army history when they ran out of ammunition fighting against the Chinese Liberation Army and the Korean Army. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! The Congressional Gold Medal has been awarded.

Project 3. Taino Education

​

Tribal members of our yucayeke are available for educational programs about Arawak Native American culture and history. Music, dance, food, storytelling, songs, history, and Taino language are just a few of the things that we can provide for your school or organization. 

Our presentations will help our audience to not only learn about the "Taino" Indian culture but to experience it first hand. Please contact Cacike "Ma'Iuaonbo Rivera for further details.
