(Taíno Nation) and a professor at Cornell University
On March 22 and 23, 2003, more than 900 people attended an historic two-day event
held at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in New York City. Taíno and Carib community members from across
the Caribbean were invited to participate in the museum’s Expressive Culture Series program. Participants included:
Dr. Jose Barreiro (Taíno) representing Cuba, Prosper Paris (Carib) representing the island of Waitikubuli (Dominica), Nina
M. R. Aponte (Taíno) representing Boriken (Puerto Rico), Ricardo Bharath (Carib) representing Cairi (Trinidad), and Cándida
Peralta (Taíno) representing Quisqueya (Dominican Republic). [1]

There are many people of both Taino and Carib descent in the New York area. Community members of the
Taino Nation were present as were representatives of the Garifuna people, also known as the Black Carib.
