#1189: Taino People in LaGonave : Davis inquires

[Robert Corbett <bcorbett@netcom.com>]

From: Karen Davis <kdavis@marygrove.edu>

I must have misseed something. Who (besides them)  says these 2 men, 4
women, & kids are "Taino"? How do they know they are Taino? How did they
come to be in Canada? Where were their ancestors before Canada? Who were
they in Canada? If they are Taino, why are they building teepees & not
bohios? Do they speak Taino? French? English? Haitian Kreyol? And if they
have no Taino culture, does it matter if they have some genetic Taino
ancestry? Why?
Karen (an inquiring mind wants to know)
