Thank you for visiting the landing page for Taino Leadership Summit! 

This event stands as a showcase of both self-proclaimed, and strategically appointed taino leaders/executive directors of taino nonprofits. While some presenters from the summit are still active today, many have since left tainoism and its false claims of an indigenous identity. 

In this page, you'll find resources to learn about tainoism, and Greater Antilles history with a focus on Puerto Rico Oustide the taino propaganda machine. We also look forward to offering free access to healing tools for those who are new and/or indoctrinated in tainoism. 

When I first introduced the Taino Leadership Summit event idea to the taino women's circle in I was in at the time, (2021) I had no idea I was platforming a pretendian cult that operates similarly to the Huna cult in Hawaii.

For that, I offer my apology.  Witnessing the harm of tainoism, the erasure of our ancient Antilles heritages, the internalized bias, racism, homophobia, anti-trans attitudes, predatory narratives and "caciques" falsely promoted as Native American within tainoism—I said BASTA!!! ENOUGH!!! And have challenged tainoism every day from that point on.

My research journey to identify the source of taino and tainoism has brought me to Puerto Rico, the archives in Seville, Spain and closer to my roots than I ever thought possible. I've spent countless hours on the internet researching, seeking anything to prove me wrong about the origins of taino, and taino narratives. After three years and counting of daily research—I still have not found any book, document, or letter from the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, centuries that contains the word taino in relation to a tribe, people or community. I knew at that point something had to be done before we lost our Antilles/IndioBoricua/Jibaro heritage to tainoism forever.

The page Taino Leadership Summit on Facebook evolved with my healing from a space that promotes tainoism to a resource hub documenting my work debunking the concept of taino. I realized when the page hit 50k+ visitors, we needed a more secure platform to protect and preserve our IndioBoricua and Jibaro heritage from further erasure by the taino brand.

I will be populating this page over time with resources to reconnect our diaspora with historically accurate truth about Greater Antilles history and Puerto Rican heritage while also providing evidence of taino being a high control group posing as an indigenous nation. 

Please note: Since the 1950's we have been force-fed a colonized version of our history in Puerto Rico, of taino being the first peoples in the Caribbean. 

Now thanks to the digital age, the internet and AI, we know that is far from the truth... 

With that, I welcome you to the original Taino Leadership Summit, a resource page devoted to never letting that level of erasure happen to our people ever again.
