of Jatibonicu' and its Taino people. We of the Jatibonicu' tribe are known
as the "Great People of the Sacred High Waters". Our tribe is located in the
central mountain range of the island of Borikén. Our traditional Jatibonicu'
tribal homeland, has a year long refreshing climate and is well known for
its many lovely flowers and mounTAINOus sites. Come visit with us to the
place of our birth and experience the warm Jibaro hospitality of the Jatibonicu
Taino Boricua Native American Indian people of this quaint remote central mountain region.

Some Jatibonicu' Taino Tribal History of Borikén
Our traditional
Jatibonicu Taino tribal homeland is composed of one very large central mountain
territory. This tribal land base or region, in the past was divided into three
smaller villages by the former regional Governor of Puerto Rico Don Diego Colon
of the Spanish colonial Government of Spain.
In the 1500's the Jatibonicu tribal homeland consisted of three villages known
as Yucayeques (villages). These villages are known today as the local
municipalities of Orocovis, Morovis, Barranquitas and Aibonito. In Jatibonicu's
territorial history, the colonial Government of Spain would come to
further geographically divide this region. They would establish or create a
fourth (4) village known as Morovis, from one of the barrios or boroughs of
the village that was formerly known by the Taino name of "Barros". The village
of Barros was officially renamed to Orocovis to honor the memory of Principal
Chief Orocobix in the year 1825. These
pueblos or villages are located in the Central Mountain Range of what is known
today as La Cordillera Central (The Central Mountain Range). Let us now depart
on this enjoyable yet historical voyage of our beautiful island region of Borikén
(The Land of the Valiant & Noble Lord), that is known today by its Spanish
colonial name of Puerto Rico.

WE THE TAINO PEOPLE OF BORIKÉN ARE STILL HERE
500 Years of Oppression 500 Years of Taino Resistance
TAINO INDIAN MOVEMENT OF BORIKÉN PUERTO RICO
A Letter To The Puerto Rican People
This is an old 1977 picture of Elder Pedro Guanikeyu Torres at the young age of 26
A picture of Cacique Don Pedro Guanikeyu
Then and Now
This hightly respected gray haired elder who was born in Orocovis
Puerto Rico, is still struggling for our tribal rights as the FIRST BORICUAs, the
indigenous island people of Borikén.
Presently this Tribal elder at the age 64, stands within the crossroads of
the four winds as a symbol of Taino Indigenous freedom. Thus in my view and
in the thoughts of other Taino tribal members, through his years of dedication
and via his noble 52 years of struggling for his people, has thus proven to be a relentless
warrior in the Taino people's struggle for the preservation of our Taino indigenous culture and its ethnic heritage.
