Your Support Helps Restore History, Empower Our Youth, and Reclaim Our Identity
When I was a child, my history teacher told me — and my entire class — that the Arawak Taíno people “don’t exist.” But our stories lived in my grandmother’s words. Our language lives in our home. Our identity lived in our bones.
I created T.A.I.N.O so no Native descendant would ever again be told their people vanished.

Why Your Support Matters: Every Donation Preserves a Legacy
When you give to the Taíno American Indigenous National Organization (T.A.I.N.O.), you are investing in something far greater than an organization—you are helping preserve one of the Caribbean's oldest living Indigenous legacies for future generations.
For centuries, the history, language, traditions, and contributions of the Arawak Taíno people have too often been misunderstood, overlooked, or forgotten. Through education, community engagement, historical research, cultural programming, and public advocacy, T.A.I.N.O. is working every day to ensure that this rich heritage continues to inspire and educate people around the world.
Your generosity makes that mission possible.
